425-Infidelity to "Too Good to be True": Bethany's Transformation Story

April 05, 2024 13:54 - 56 minutes - 105 MB

Bethany felt like her marriage was a lost cause.  She knew that she and her husband were called to be together, but after years of serving in church ministry, three kids, and infidelity, Bethany and her husband began questioning their promise of “no divorce” and began considering separation.  She knew she needed help. She was desperate. She searched for a Christian answer and found Delight Your Marriage. After listening to the podcast and the testimonies, she felt unsure because the te...

424-Freedom from Shame (Good Friday)

March 29, 2024 19:45 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MB

Maybe you've done something wrong... Maybe there's a deep discomfort that you keep trying to avoid... Maybe you feel if you let yourself be with yourself quietly, the shame will swallow you whole...   The guilt and shame you feel may be justified.   And that is exactly why we need a sacrifice that allows us to live in confidence and freedom, peace and joy in life.   As followers of Jesus, we don't have confidence that "we're good enough" because of some baseless affirmation. ...

423-Don't Give Up, Your Suffering Matters

March 19, 2024 15:18 - 19 minutes - 35.9 MB

Maybe you're in the midst of a really tough season.  It feels like you're alone and barely keeping your head above water.    Marriage woes can be the most stressful aspect of a person's life.  I want to encourage you that your suffering matters.    I was walking through a museum with my son the other day, and a painting depicted a martyr who was tortured for his faith.  It was a moment that helped me reflect on the importance of my suffering every day. If a moment like that o...

422-Compassion Fatigue. Interview with Kevin Bueltmann

March 15, 2024 13:57 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

If you're a pastor or are shepherded by a pastor, it is important to know that the work of the pastor is hard and can have a deep impact on the leader of such work.  In this episode, we explore the emotional and psychological cost of deeply caring for others.  In today's episode, we delve into compassion fatigue, its causes, and the impact it has on individuals in helping professions. Here's what you'll learn: What is compassion fatigue and how does it differ from burnout? Profession...

363-Take Responsibility, Change & THAT Creates Real Intimacy. Mick's Transformation Story (Rerelease)

March 08, 2024 22:59 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

I pulled out a fan-favorite episode to share today! If you haven't heard it, you don't want to miss this story. It'll encourage you. -- Mick is a dynamic, charismatic, but also a tell-it-straight kinda guy. When his marriage was shallow in terms of connection, emotionally and intimately, he jumped at an opportunity that he discerned understood him as a man and also had a proven track record for change.  After taking responsibility, the MAIN change was his heart. He shares some partic...

421-Be Your Spouse's Servant

March 01, 2024 13:53 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Maybe you don't really understand what "servant" means in relation to your spouse.    Let's explore that together on our podcast today.   Be your spouse's servant.  That's Jesus' way.  If we believe what He said, this should not offend us but teach us how to live.   Mark 10:45: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..." Matthew 20:26b-28 "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—...

420-Argument vs. Clarification

February 22, 2024 17:53 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

If you've been around for a while, you may have heard that we say you must have "0 arguments" in your marriage.  "But that's not normal." "But that's not healthy." "But that means someone is not being honest." Well, firstly, it's not my rule.  Among many other verses, let's look at Romans 1:29, 30, 32; 2:1, 2. “They have become filled with every kind of wickedness... murder, strife... gossips... arrogant and boastful..."  "Although they know God’s righteous decree that those wh...

419-Half Truths Can Destory More than Lies

February 17, 2024 00:12 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

The definition of a half-truth is "a statement that conveys only part of the truth, especially one used deliberately in order to deceive someone." I don't know that anyone who says these half-truths is INTENTIONALLY choosing to deceive someone. I'd prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. However, we must look at these beliefs and discern if they are scripturally based. Certainly, the enemy has deliberately used them to deceive and wreak horrific tragedies in marriages and fam...

311-Intimacy and the Gospel (Re-release)

February 09, 2024 23:57 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

(This is a re-release from previously.) I used to be so weirded out by sex because I was pursuing Jesus with everything. How could my life be sold out for Christ and have to engage in such carnal behavior? Then God opened my eyes to quite a lot. I hope you’ll listen to today’s podcast with an open heart and willingness to let Him reveal His true design and desire for you in your marriage. Love & Blessings, Belah PS – We'd love to help with your marriage/intimacy please set up a c...

418-Appreciate Your Spouse's Uniqueness

February 02, 2024 15:45 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

"We're just so different." "We have nothing in common." "Our personalities are not compatible."   This is a big problem in marriages.  People notice differences and assume it's a bad thing.  This is understandable...but very wrong.    God, in His amazing creativity, designed your spouse and you differently.  He also made a deer look differently than an alligator. He made a duck's personality differently than an anaconda's.  He made the octopus loners, but curious, and the a...

417-Resensitize Your Pleasure (for PIED, Low Drive & Hi Drive folk)

January 26, 2024 18:00 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

"Why can't I be fulfilled by what I SHOULD be able to?" -Higher-drive men, Higher-drive women "Why can't I get aroused by what I SHOULD be able to?"  -Lower-drive women, PI/ED men   I want to invite you to consider what brings you pleasure.  I want you to consider what causes you to ENJOY life.  At Delight Your Marriage we focus a lot of intimacy. (And this episode does too).  God has designed sex to be a way to receive pleasure.  But is it God's only way for you to receive...

416-Increased Desire (Asexual is/not a Thing?) Sarah's Transformation Story

January 19, 2024 13:31 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MB

Many of our wife listeners have lower drives than their husbands. (I hear you!) And that’s just the way it is. Nothing to be done, just deal with it.    Also, if they’re like I have been, since she has a lower sex drive she just has to put up with the requirement of her to make love even though she’s less than enthusiastic about it because she has to have sex and can’t do the things she really wants to be doing. Or sometimes avoids it altogether.    I have been there. And so has Sa...

415-Married to YOU--Year End Review

December 30, 2023 19:28 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

In approaching the new year, I invite you to rewind your calendar and consider...your marital performance in 2023. What if I asked your spouse what it was like being married to YOU this past year? Yikes! If my spouse chose to be fully open and honest I think I'd have plenty of... ehemmm... "growth-opportunities". :)   Seriously though... feel free to go back through your calendar and check out what your priorities were throughout the year. Day by day. Week by week. Month by month...

414-Changing OURSELVES In Light of Eternity

December 22, 2023 22:08 - 32 minutes - 30.5 MB

As we are soon gathering together with loved ones to celebrate the Savior's birth, I would love for you to remember what life is all about.  When we meet Jesus face to face, what do we want to be true of us? In today's episode, I walk you through a meditation I did with our men's graduate group a couple of months ago.  It is really meant to give you a chance to consider eternity. What is Christmas really about?  It's about Jesus. And are we living in light of His life, will and ultim...

413-Obsessed with Marriage or God's Will?

December 15, 2023 22:11 - 31 minutes - 36.4 MB

It's hard to discern (or even admit) if we are obsessed.  So here's the definition:  "an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind." Is your marriage an obsession?  Or is God's will an obsession? (And your marriage is an important part of God's will for you.) I encourage you to consider what God's will is for you in this next season. It's all about priorities.  If God is your first priority then everything else falls underneath.  He puts all ...

412-Sleeping in Separate Bedrooms, Now Healing. Interview with Jacques

December 08, 2023 19:07 - 31 minutes - 26.9 MB

After 33 years of marriage, they were disconnected.  At that point, they were sleeping in separate bedrooms.  Maybe you're at a spot where it's hard to have hope because it has been SO hard for SO long.  Jacques is here to say, even when only you do the work, it can change.  Glory to God.  Blessings, Belah PS - Could your marriage be one of the next ones to transform?

411-Real Love Takes Sacrifice

December 01, 2023 22:56 - 22 minutes - 21.6 MB

You may wonder when God is going to show up in your life.   In your situation.    In your marriage.    You may believe in God but don’t feel His love for you, or at least haven’t for a long time.    Maybe you felt His love for you at first, and that is what brought you to give your life to Jesus, but slowly, things have really gotten stale.    Maybe like your marriage.    It was great at first. But slowly other loves entered the picture. Children. Careers. Commitments...

410-Turn Tension to Thanksgiving (4 Steps)

November 22, 2023 15:59 - 23 minutes - 11.3 MB

Tomorrow is the day (in the US) we set aside to be grateful.   Or it’s a day we set aside to get frustrated with family, binge eat, and watch football.   Just kidding.   I invite you to do Thanksgiving this year, Jesus way.   Let’s allow peace, joy, and thanksgiving being the most important aspects of this holiday.   Everything else is after those.   Let’s be intentional to not allow wounds of the past (even from yesterday) to rob our kids or extended family of the op...

409-Lonely & Pessimistic to Blossoming & United. Randy's Transformation Story

November 17, 2023 23:18 - 39 minutes - 39.5 MB

Randy felt lonely, disconnected, and that his wife cared about everything and everyone else more than his wife. He was a strong believer and prayed for change in his marriage. He stumbled upon Delight Your Marriage through podcast searching and found something that seemed right. He and his wife really dug into the material. And it did start to make sense. Sadly, they were again up at 3 am and both very frustrated and hurting. She decided to make the free Clarity Call: delightyourmarria...

November 10, 2023 17:55 - 53 minutes - 52.3 MB

Dads, When it comes to fatherhood, do you feel at times like you don't know what you're doing?  At times, does the chaos and frustration of it all feel like you're left to solve a very difficult puzzle without directions? Dr. Don is here to tell you, "Every dad CAN win". He's been there. His wife, the "Relationship Ninja", Suzanne wants you to know that you are handpicked by God for  this.  For fatherhood.  For your children. You can do this.   Early on in his family life...

407-Jesus Treated Women Differently (Men--It's Learnable)

November 03, 2023 22:12 - 31 minutes - 36.8 MB

When I was first with my (now) husband he showed me my value.  Value I didn't know I had. Worth I didn't know I was. He taught me how precious my heart was. He taught me how precious my body was. God loved me through my husband. God healed me through my husband. I remember on our first date I told him that I had never felt safer in my whole life. I felt completely respected and honored by this man. I felt like he would protect me from anything and everything (even ...

406-Who Are You Confessing Your Sin To?

October 30, 2023 17:38 - 11 minutes - 13.6 MB

Solomon. The wisest man in the whole world. Ever. Fell to sex.  David. The man after God's own heart. Fell to sex. Samson. The real-life superhero. Fell to sex. Falling to sex is something men have done for a long time... AND each was severely punished. 1 Cor 10:8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died...  These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us... 12 So, if yo...

405-Persistence, Twice-through and God Changed It. David's Transformation Story

October 20, 2023 20:07 - 23 minutes - 24.6 MB

Today's story is by a wonderful man who needed help to receive the intimacy he was really hoping for.    As a person who believed in Jesus and was serious about the Word of God, the lack of intimacy in his marriage was not something he was willing to find a sinful outlet for. Instead, he had heard of Delight Your Marriage and began listening to the podcast. After listening for several years, he decided to sign up for the men’s program when it began to be offered.  The first time he w...

403-Finally Unstuck. Chris' Transformation Story

October 06, 2023 19:08 - 36 minutes - 34.4 MB

He's been a Christian for many years, yet couldn't seem to "crack" how people transform. He knew he wasn't where God would want him to be, but couldn't figure out how to get there.  He had followed Delight Your Marriage for years and applied what he picked up, but it didn't seem to move the needle. Finally, he decided it was time and joined.  He started seeing changes in himself and changes in his walk with God. And he was thrilled to discover a community of men that was, in his words,...

402-My Son's Appeal to Let Your Husband Lead

September 29, 2023 20:41 - 27 minutes - 32.9 MB

My son, age 10, is going to talk to you today. And I invite you to ​​imagine this is your son.  What kind of father do you want him to see? A leader? A man of character? A man of strength and integrity? So many wives want that for their sons, but they are unwilling to do what's necessary to make space for that to be a reality. These wives (and sadly I've been in that place way too many times) give into fear. Fear that he won't do what "needs to be done" in her eyes. ​​​​​​​​...

401-Purity Culture Had Side Effects Til Now. Lindsay's Transformation Story

September 22, 2023 18:17 - 43 minutes - 45.4 MB

They saved themselves for marriage. (Yay!) But there were other hurdles encountered as a result of a lack of insight around intimacy and God's wonderful design. Hear how Lindsay got to the other side. Was it just flipping a switch and suddenly there's freedom? No. It was a process. It was a journey, and it took support and guidance. I look forward to you hearing from someone who got there, and you can, too.  For men: her husband went first.  For women: she had to commit and rea...

400-Stop Competing and Win

September 15, 2023 18:52 - 38 minutes - 40.6 MB

We are LOVING the excitement about the Pre-Engaged Workbook, which will be released soon.   (It is supposed to go live today, but isn't available yet... there is a hold-up in the review process. We will let you know once it goes live!)   ---   What I think happens a lot in marriages is a dynamic of competition.    They both want to impress their spouse, and both of them are clawing on top of each other trying to get the other one to notice them and admire them.    They’re...

399-"My Wife Wanted a Divorce." Now, "Like Newlyweds." Hunter's Transformation Story

September 08, 2023 17:39 - 44 minutes - 44.4 MB

I just have to apologize ahead of time because this headline is way too sensational. I can hear you saying, "It's frankly not realistic." I get it.  But, hear me out. (Or, hear him out...? :)   So, Hunter had twin 4-year-old girls. His wife was fed up with asking him to change. To pull his fair share. To be proactive in the family responsibilities.  She said she was done. They had talked about divorce in the past, but there was finality this time.  He could tell she was serious...

398-Your Insecurity Is Harming Your Spouse

September 01, 2023 16:26 - 47 minutes - 54.4 MB

We're all insecure.  I am. You are.    We might not be insecure about the same things, but we've all got it.    Today, I want to talk about the insecurities that are common for women and the insecurities that are common for men. Spoiler alert: they're different.   But the insight most of us miss is that our specific insecurity in marriage actually is harming our spouse.  Because of the way our spouse is designed by God, if there are certain things missing in marriage, it pa...

397-Pride & Adultery to Healing & Joy! Amber's Transformation Story

August 25, 2023 18:49 - 51 minutes - 48.3 MB

Amber can tell you straight up... God has changed her.  For so many reasons, she would have said her behavior was warranted. (I know the feeling and have said the words myself!) And God was kind to open her eyes to her pride.  The pride that was ripping her husband apart.  And yet, God got her attention.  He stretched forth His hand and showed her what she couldn't see on her own.  He used her husband's leadership to bring her to a place of recognition of her sin.  And then s...

396-Is Porn a Salvation Issue?

August 18, 2023 19:22 - 43 minutes - 49.5 MB

There can only be 1 answer to this question: Yes, or No.    Well, who do you go to to answer questions like this? Do you have a pastor? A friend? A mentor? A favorite author? A researcher? A scientist? A porn counselor? An SA therapist? A previous user? Your own experience? Your own intuition?    Who has the authority in your life to answer this question? Ahem... "the great Belah Rose?"   Just so we're clear, when I said, "Let there be light"... it staye...

395-After an Affair He Changed & Won Back His Wife's Heart. Wayne's Transformation Story

August 11, 2023 20:25 - 35 minutes - 34.2 MB

I don't have to tell you that the enemy is out for families. Because the best-case scenario is a mom and dad that love each other raising children that grow up to be the men and women to do God's will in the earth. So, if the enemy can tear at the soul of the marriage. The most sacred part. The intimacy. Then the family crumbles.  But God. Wayne is so courageous to share what God has done because he knows it can help someone, maybe like you to know you're not alone.  This is a story ...

394-THIS Intimacy is What God Wants With You. Dan's Transformation Story

August 04, 2023 22:54 - 46 minutes - 45.3 MB

Driving down the road, crying out to God.  And, maybe, the strongest he's ever heard the Lord responded to him. It wasn't rebuke. But an invitation.  He saw into the heart of God.  Real tears started rolling down his face. --- I invite you to listen to Dan's story.    Maybe it's not unlike yours... ...have a marriage, for some decades. ...have gone through struggles and broken dreams. ​ ​...have a couple of children. ​​...desire to be who God called him to be. ​...

393-The Sin of Self-Pity (aka Pride)

July 28, 2023 21:33 - 35 minutes - 41.1 MB

I should be clear... I don't struggle with this. The stories I share about my pride in this episode are a complete rarity. Almost never happens. ​I also don't struggle with lying... :D  (Just kidding :) I need this learning as much as anyone... which is why I'm excited to share what God is teaching me! ---- "My spouse needs to change..."  "[He is / She is] doing so many bad things...so many..." "There's nothing I can do unless [he / she] changes..."   I knew this was a dis...

392-Dropped Porn (& 20lbs). Taylor's Transformation Story

July 21, 2023 23:24 - 27 minutes - 26.3 MB

Back 1.5 years ago, Taylor went through the men's program and witnessed God do some important work. Most important: in his heart.  But as Jesus says: For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” If the point of Delight Your Marriage is to help men and women get their heart...

How healthy is your marriage? Marital Health Assessment (free tool)

July 20, 2023 19:00 - 2 minutes - 2.85 MB

You may be on a journey to get a better marriage...  But do you know where you are right now?    The trouble is when people with a 9/10 marriage give advice to someone with a 2/10 marriage...  It doesn't make sense. AND a left turn at the WRONG TIME could lead to disaster. That is why we developed the Marital Health Assessment, a tool you can use to determine if you're on track in your marriage.    Or if you need a left turn now or to stay straight for another 37 exits :)   ...

391-Marriage and the End Times

July 14, 2023 19:27 - 38 minutes - 43.3 MB

We are indeed at war.  Now is not the time to walk idly by.  Now is not the time to pretend it's all just fine.  Now is not the time to think only about ourselves.   And your marriage matters during the tribulation.  Regardless of who endures the end times (our generation... or the next, or next, or next...) what you do or don't do in your marriage matters.   Whether or not Christianity is worthwhile to your kids can be significantly impacted by what they see in your marriage...

390-Should a Woman Lead This? Donny's Transformation Story

July 07, 2023 19:57 - 34 minutes - 32.5 MB

As an Amish growing up, Donny has had quite the journey.  Just a couple of years ago after God rescued him from a very difficult place, his marriage actually was fairly good.    He found and listened to the podcast for quite a while and felt convicted that he needed to do the men's program.  He was content in his own marriage, he just wanted to know if he could recommend it to others.  But he was surprised to see how helpful it was to him personally, and his marriage grew even more...

389-Frustrated Empty Nesters to Enjoying Growing Old Together. Kim's Transformation Story

June 30, 2023 20:29 - 40 minutes - 41.3 MB

As empty nesters, you know how they say you'll enjoy growing old together. Well, Kim says, "We were growing older, but not enjoying it." Kim was suffering in her marriage -- crying on her friend's shoulder. As they prayed that God would change it. Then, that friend told her about the podcast, the one you're listening to.  That friend also told her husband. After hearing all the testimonials, he joined the men's program.  Kim was kind of annoyed that he did this. Because she also list...

388-Healing His Wife's Sexual Abuse. Bill H's Transformation Story

June 23, 2023 18:45 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

My heart goes out to any wife who has experienced sexual abuse. There are so many layers of pain... it's truly horrible.  As a husband, the evil that was done to your wife harmed her immeasurably. The person you love the most. And it impacted your marriage, your intimacy, and your life forever.    Is healing possible? What if she doesn't "DEAL WITH" her abuse? (Sometimes I hear men say that their hands are tied if she doesn't deal with her trauma.) Can a husband do anything? ...

REPOST: 345-What Is the Value of a Clarity Call?

June 19, 2023 21:14 - 32 minutes - 44.9 MB

Clarity is crucial in a marriage because it allows individuals to gain self-awareness, understand their own emotions and behaviors, and without even realizing it, it can help you take responsibility for your part in the relationship dynamics. Maybe you didn't "cause it" but you haven't worked to solve it. When couples face challenges or conflicts, it's easy to blame each other or external factors without examining what is really going on under the surface of the behaviors. A Clarity Call e...

387-Engineer, Feeling Helpless, Discovered "It's REAL". Kevin's Transformation Story

June 09, 2023 17:40 - 30 minutes - 32.7 MB

I'd like to share Kevin's story, mostly in his own words.  As always, there is a huge message of hope and transformation available in this story, so I hope you'll listen in! After 28 years of marriage, feeling like roommates, Kevin said "I felt helpless" and "very isolated, very alone" in the struggles he experienced.  As a very successful (and busy!) IT exec overseeing teams in India, UK, France, and elsewhere, and really being able to figure out most things on his own... It was con...

386-Men, You Were Designed For Respect

June 02, 2023 18:38 - 36 minutes - 41.4 MB

I am grateful so many men share their unfiltered hearts with me.  It is an honor and a privilege.  I find that many men feel extremely misunderstood. And they have numbed their pain just to "get through". The problem with numbing is we don't see the people right in front of us and the pain they are experiencing.  What I see so frequently is men who are desperately trying to be the men God designed them to be, but are frustrated with the lack of respect in their marriages. I want to...

385-Nervous Breakdown or Separation? But Then He Led. Joyce's Transformation Story

May 26, 2023 17:26 - 45 minutes - 42.8 MB

Oh, the pain of frustration, being consistently misunderstood, and having your needs (legitimate needs) consistently trampled upon. Both Jerry and Joyce felt it. And Jerry desperately looked for answers.
