Strong Men Strong Marriages
Mike Frazier, MD
Helping high achieving Christian men have more intimate marriages. Start with episodes 1-4 for an introduction. Traditional marriage counseling, couples therapy, couples counseling and even Christian marriage counseling will tell you that a good marriage is based on compromise. Validating feelings. Sacrifice. I tried that for years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. That’s why most couples who go through marriage counseling are the same or worse off after. BUT, in my studies in neuroscience at BYU, MD training at UCLA, psychiatry residency, marriage coach training, and most importantly in my own marriage, I finally found what DOES work. Building strength. Spiritual, mental, emotional and sexual strength, while anchored in following Christian marriage principles. Strength is attractive. And, it feels great. It builds trust. Add to this the skills of communication and intimacy, and you get a marriage full of phenomenal mental, emotional and physical intimacy. And, you set the example for generations to follow. I applied this to my own marriage, I felt better than ever and had more connection and passion than I thought possible. I started teaching this to other men and couples and they were able to create mental, emotional and sexual intimacy faster than they thought possible. This even works for affair recovery and emotional affairs. Now it’s your turn. Become a strong, attractive man. Create a strong, passionate marriage.

Is Masturbation A Sin?
This is a big question for many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.But, it's the wrong question.Today I'm joined by Daniel Burgess, DanielABurgess.com, a Marriage and Family Therapist and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.We review some of the Church's teachings about sexuality and masturbation over time, which Daniel has studied extensively and reported about on his website.But, in our personal work and work with clients, we've discovered that the question "is masturbation a sin" leads you down the wrong path.Learn the better questions to ask in today's episode.Summary:-The question “is masturbation a sin” reflects rigid, black or white and somewhat immature thinking-The better questions to ask are “how do I want to use my sexuality?” and “is this thinking and behavior drawing me closer to God and my wife, or pulling me away?”-The law of chastity and scriptures do not specifically mention masturbation-Use personal revelation to see how masturbation fits (or doesn’t fit) into your life and marriageDr. MikeP.S.
