This month on Awesome Marriage, we're talking about the different sex struggles that a lot of couples have in marriages. Earlier this week,

Dr. Kim shared about one of the reasons some couples struggle to have good sex in marriage

is that they aren't practicing true monogamy. So to help us better understand what that

means, what true monogamy is,

and how to practice that, we're going to be sharing three ways to practice true monogamy this week.

So each day we'll be going over one way to help you practice true monogamy. And today's way is to

watch what you allow yourself to see. So Dr. Kim, just in case someone didn't hear the podcast yesterday, let's just go over it real quick.

What is true monogamy?

Well, it's really, you know, if you look at just monogamy in itself, it's just married to one person at a time.

It's what the dictionary would say, you only have a sex relation with one person.

But I think as a Christian, you take that to deeper level.

And, you know, Christ took it to a higher level you know that the Old Testament

talked about adultery and Christ said talked about lusting in your heart after someone and that

being adultery and so I think it true monogamy is your thoughts your actions your where do you

let your eyes go all of those kind of things physically mentally emotionally all those needs

need to be met by your spouse and not and only by your spouse,

not by anybody else.

Yeah, absolutely.
