Shows Main Idea – Supporting Member question: How did your wife get to a point where she knew you struggle with lust temptation and did not freak out about it, even to helping to be another set of eyes at the beach?

Show Notes

My husband thinks I’m hot but that does not kill my insecurity. I’ve tried killing it by asking a million times if he thinks I look good. What’s the difference between me and the women he’s been with or even just looking at? We all look nice. I feel like a Skittle in a bag. They all taste good, have a nice color, just different.

What makes a wife different from all the other women a guy has had sex with or a lust filled thought? Why would I matter if he can find any attractive body just about anywhere? Sometimes men leave their wives for someone else and it’s like nothing ever even mattered.

Key ideas

It is a process that does not happen quickly.

It takes communication, either with your husband or a close friend.

It is active participation with the Lord, which means you have to learn how to trust the Lord:

1. Knowledge
2. Understanding
3. Application
