The main takeaway from this particular episode is that there is a difference between the silent treatment and silence. Silence can actually be very good and healthy in your relationship, but the silent treatment never is.

Listen, these days, there’s a lot of faking it going on when it comes to women having orgasms. But let’s get real. My guest, intimacy expert Julie Sibert, and I are answering your questions and demystifying the important yet often overlooked female orgasm. The truth is there are many women who have never, and I do repeat, never experienced an orgasm. There are also women who “fake it til they make it.” But these situations are living below the pleasure potential that married sex provides.

Lysa TerKeurst, the founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries, recently filed for divorce from her husband, Art TerKeurst, because of repeatedly breaking their marriage vows/covenant. In a raw and real Instagram post, Lysa discretely details her thought process in ending her marriage. Sometimes enough is enough. Many Christian marriages experience infidelity, sadly, and many betrayed women, especially, don't know how to end their marriages because they've been taught to stay no matter what.
