I miss you mom... and I love you with all my heart! From Tony
Sometimes husbands act out sexually... apart from their wife... in the context of their marriage. For many men the default mechanism for acting out is internet porn and masturbation. But many men then escalate to other acting out behaviors... including cyber sex... strip clubs... massage with a "happy ending"... prostitutes... and affairs. When a man is caught acting out in any of these ways... his wife is typically very hurt... trust is broken... and it's the equivalent of an emotional and relational atomic bomb exploding in the middle of the marriage. This can then create a profound insecurity within the wife... and she often feels like she's living on a "trap door"... wondering if she'll ever be able to trust her husband again... and wondering if he's going to do it again. In this episode Tony talks the important distinction between "demand" versus "appeal"... and what a wife can do... if she's afraid her husband is going to do it... AGAIN!

Welcome to... Price vs Commodity!
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. I Corinthians 10:13
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7
