(FYI – these video are posted to gruntle you. NOT to make a point or teach a lesson. Please don’t e-mail us if they offend you- ENJOY!)

A listener asks Mark, what is love? A wife wants her husband to touch her without having sex and a young woman wants her fiance to be home more. A daughter feels like her parents have replaced her and her siblings with their adopted children. A father e-mails pictures to his daughter, that included some ‘racy’ pictures of another woman and should married people have single friends? A serious ‘peace keeping’ husband doesn’t know how to handle his wife’s anger.

Another video from the conference that I thought you would enjoy…

A man shares his story of recovering from masturbation and pornography. A woman wants to know how much time to spend looking for someone to date, and a husband wants to know how to handle his unwilling wife. A woman who is about to get married wants to know how to keep her husband interested 50 years from now. Mark explains when a separation is a good idea and when it is not. A wife puts her foot down, her husband moves out, and now he is trying to teach her a lesson.

Here is a video from the Butt Kicking Womens Conference you have to watch

Good morning from Green Bay, WI! Debbie brings an article to the show that is sure to get Mark going, Viewpoints: It’s perfectly normal.We also welcome Wendy Meredith to the show and Debbie’s husband, Raul!

A wife wants to change her father-in-laws behavior, and a young woman who has masturbated since she was 8 wants to know what her sex life in marriage will be like. A 44-yr old man left his wife to live with an 18-yr old woman, and is now back at home. A young man wants to know if taking a ‘time out’ is a good idea before dating a woman.

A husband writes the show about not having enough sex with this wife, but he admits that he doesn’t try. A wife e-mails the show that wants to leave her husband, but she is concerned about her children. Mark answers a birth control question and a daughter writes into the show on behalf of her mother.

We finally get to e-mails on the show starting with one from a woman that is hesitant to marry man that may not be able to provide for her. A woman that is not even divorced yet is already asking dating questions, and a wife wants to know whose responsibility it is to deal with erectile dysfunction. A wife kicks her husband out, and he asks if, “while he’s out, can he date other women?” A husband is trying to save his marriage, but his Christian wife won’t have sex with him and wants a divorce.

A follow-up e-mail comes into the show about moving for health reasons, and should you share your past ‘sins’ with the person your dating. A married couple doesn’t kiss during sex, a husband wants his wife to wear leather. Should a married man be alone with a single woman that has expressed interest in him? A   young man wants to know if he should marry a woman with zero income.

A very enjoyable e-mail from a man ends the show!

A wife e-mails the show about discovering her husband has an affair, and her frustration with his lack of emotion and communication. A guy e-mails the show with concern for his step-daughter’s marriage, and her husband’s ‘weekend’ getaways. Mark talks about being content in any circumstance and the importance of the dating process.

A follow-up from yesterday is brought to the show, because a ‘few’ details were left out. A husband wants some help dealing with his wife that wants to buy a separate house to live in. A newly married couple, wants to know when its ‘right’ to have kids. A daughter wants her mother to separate from her father because of the way he speaks to her. A question comes in about Facebook and what to do about a massage with a ‘happy ending.’

They open with a continuing saga from last week about a teenager dating a guy she met on the internet, and now the daughter is living with a drug dealer. A wife is always questioning if her husband loves her, and young bride is wondering if her marriage is doomed because they are no longer having sex. Debbie brings an e-mail to the show about living with 2 controlling families, and a husband that doesn’t want his wife using Facebook anymore because he caught her chatting with an ex.

Mark explains why marriage is a ‘sexual contract.’

A woman wants to know if she is crazy for crying during sex, and a man wants to know why his fiance doesn’t respond to his text messages. A woman living with her finance is not happy and is wondering what to do now, and is it okay to remove your mother from your relationship life if she is crazy. Is a prenuptial agreement biblical? A wife doesn’t know what to do about her husband’s porn addiction, and a wife is struggling with her misbehaving husband.

Mark outlines the important things that you need discuss before you marry someone, and the important role a father should play in his daughters life. A wife is afraid of falling to temptation because she want to feel ‘loved,’ but is disgusted by the idea of her husband touching her. A divorced man with kids looks for some advice from Mark about dating again. A wife wants to know if she was too hard on her husband after he let her down.

Mark and Debbie start the show with a Washington Post article, Abstinence-only programs might work, study says.

Mark and Debbie address what the bible says about helping divorced women and answer the question, are all sins equal in God’s eyes? Other e-mails look for help dealing with a husband that has some serious addictions, and what do when your husband’s mistress gets pregnant. A sister e-mails about her lazy brother-in-law that driving her sister into financial ruin and a mother is concerned about her sad son that thinks God told him his Christian girlfriend is not the ‘one.’

A wife keeps telling her husband she is going to leave him, even though she knows it’s wrong. Mark explains how women can hear something over and over again and will not listen to a word, but men will hear it once and make a change.
