Description
Questions answered this episode:
What would you say about an international marriage? Do you think it’s better to marry someone from your own culture?
I was exposed to porn at an early age and that led to an addiction to it. Obscene and disturbing images come to mind particularly in moments of deep prayer. Do you have any advice?
I’m the one who pursues intimacy in my marriage and my husband is not really interested in it. Do you have any advice?
