Belah Rose is a wife... a mom... an author... an intimacy coach... and the producer of the Delight Your Marriage Podcast! Through the Delight Your Marriage Podcast... Blah interviews guests... and shares information and wisdom on a variety of topics including... relationships... marriage... intimacy... sensuality... sexuality... femininity... self-image... and self-improvement. Belah's heart to help women in the areas that so many women struggle with... was born from the deepest hurt... pain... and failures of her own life. * A first marriage that included emotional, physical, spiritual, and sexual abuse * A divorce * Doubts and disappointments in God * A period of significant promiscuity * An unexpected pregnancy out of wedlock * A husband who wasn't interested in spiritual things * Guilt * Regret * Loneliness * Shame Belah is an amazing example that reveals God's incredible ability to heal and redeem deeply broken people... and deeply broken marriages! By God's IMMENSE grace, I transformed my past and started teaching Christian women how they can do the same: I see them feel powerful and sexy and become fully whole in their marriage and honor their divinely feminine essence to witness their husband transform into the man they have wished and prayed that he would become.

Wade & Rachel Anderson have an amazing story! Wade had struggled with pornography his entire life... and after almost 20 years of marriage to Rachel... he finally crossed the "flesh barrier"... and became involved in an affair that lasted for 2 years. After deciding that he was going to leave his wife and family to pursue his relationship with this other women... Wade and Rachel came to a fateful night. Rachel asked Wade... "Are you involved with another person?" Wade responded... "We need to sit down and talk." After finally telling his wife the truth... she responded by telling him two different things that had a profound impact on his hard heart. First, she said... "I'll never leave you... no matter what." And second, she said... "If you're going to leave us... you have to be the one to tell our kids." In a mystery... God used those two statements to hit Wade like a ton of bricks... because he fully expected for Rachel to kick him out of their house immediately. Later... he wrote in a letter to Tony... "I thought she would surely kick me out. Instead the Holy Spirit gave her a gift to forgive me and show me amazing grace. I was so taken back that I became a prisoner of Christ." Wade & Rachel have now been in counseling for the past year... and although it's been a difficult journey... they've made significant progress on the Healing Path that God has intended for their hearts... lives... and marriage. Wade & Rachel have put together a "healing package" that they now offer to other couples who find themselves in a similar place of brokenness and despair. That package includes the following items: * A personal letter of encouragement from Wade & Rachel * A bible * The business card of a local counselor * The book - Shattered Vows - Debra Laaser * The book - Keep Walking - Lynn Marie Cherry * The book - How To Help Your Spouse Heal From Your Affair - Linda MacDonald * The book - Wild At Heart - John Eldredge * A personal journal to write in Wade & Rachel are living proof that God is still in the business of healing deeply broken people... and deeply broken marriages. Be blessed and encouraged as you listen to their story!

Tony recently received the following letter from a man who listens to the podcast: Hi Tony, Please discuss this on the podcast. I'm in a dilemma... My wife and I have been married now for 3.5 years. We both waited till marriage for sex. I knew on the wedding night I would never be attracted to my wife. I could go into details, but it's the truth. What should I do? I opened the marriage package, and I'm highly UNattracted to my wife- I'm trying just to retrain my brain to be celibate while still respecting and being faithful- just give up on sex forever. It's her weight, her breasts, her face even- and of course I keep this to myself to protect her feelings. PLEASE HELP! What should a man do if he ISN'T attracted to his wife? And what if it's worse that than? What if he's not only NOT attracted to her... but what if he's actually repulsed by her? Is is acceptable for a man to NOT have sex with his wife if he ISN'T attracted to her? In response to this man's inquiry... Tony shares 5 important principles... 2 in Episode 162... and 3 in this episode!

Tony recently received a letter from a man asking for "HELP"... because his wife doesn't want sex. In response.. Tony recorded 3 episodes of The Power of Purity Podcast in order to speak to this mans questions and concerns. The first of those 3 episodes was Episode 158... and after publishing that episode... Tony received another letter... only this time from a woman who was responding to that episode. At the beginning of her letter... this woman writes... I guess you could call this letter... "HELP! From The WIFE who doesn't want sex!" In this episode of the podcast... Tony shares that woman's heartfelt letter... as she describes what it's like to be a woman who struggles with diminished sexual desire... what that looks like in her marriage... and how it affects her relationship with her husband. In the context of her letter... this woman makes several very important points... and asks some very important questions. Among others... these include... * The issue of a woman feeling "pressured" by her husband to have more sex. * The issue of the kind of sex a woman should be having with her husband. * The issue of a woman who is willing to have sex with her husband because he desires sex... but she doesn't really desire sex. * The issue of a man appreciating his wife... not just because of sex... but because of who she is as a person. * And the issue what a woman can do in order to stimulate higher levels of sexual desire within herself. If you're a guy... hold on to your hat... because you're about to get an inside glimpse of what a woman who doesn't want sex is really struggling with!

Are you ready to hear an amazing story of God's ability to change the human heart and life? Ephesians 4:19-24 speak of God's ability to transform a person who has given themselves over to sensuality and all types of impurity... to a person who is now created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. It's an amazing metamorphous as God enables a person to TAKE OFF that which is OLD... and to PUT ON that which is NEW... through Christ Jesus. In this episode... and the next... Tony interviews Meredith Seithel Mitelstadt who is the founder of Tigerlili Resources. Meredith has an amazing story... and she truly is a trophy of God's grace! * Meredith became highly sexualized as a young lady. * This led to a significant level of promiscuity in her young life. * This led to her working as a bar tender in a strip club. * This led to her dancing at strip clubs. * And this eventually led her into a life of prostitution. Through this amazing story of redemption... like that of Mary Magdalene... you'll hear how God is still in the business of redeeming deeply broken women... and learn how God is now using a former prostitute... to rescue other prostitutes... and introduce them to the God who heals and redeems! tigerlilireources.org
