Summary
Laurie is attracted to women. And Matt is also attracted to women. Both Laurie and Matt love Jesus. They’re in what’s called a “mixed orientation marriage” and they talk about how that “works” in this fascinating episode. Their marriage is incredible. Not perfect. No marriage is. But their marriage truly does exemplify the honesty, difficulty, beauty, and meaningfulness that every marriage is supposed to embody.
Laurie and Matt have written an amazing book called “An Impossible Marriage” and this episode discusses a lot about what this book is all about. Check it out!

| 0:00.0 | Hello friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. I have on the |
| 0:03.6 | show today two very good friends of mine, Laurie and Matt Krieg. They are the co-authors, |
| 0:10.2 | dual authors of a book that just came out called An Impossible Marriage. What our mixed orientation |
| 0:15.7 | marriage has taught us about love and the gospel. Laurie is same-sex attracted, Matt is not, |
| 0:22.4 | and they have a super interesting compelling, complex, and beautiful marriage that I have learned |
| 0:29.2 | so much about just by watching them work through their unique situation. Matt is a counselor, |
| 0:36.5 | Laurie is a speaker, writer, leader in many ways. She also serves on the board of the Center for |
| 0:44.9 | Face Sexuality and Gender, so she, in some ways, Laurie is my boss, or at least has boss-like |
| 0:51.7 | authority over me in some ways. So I'm so excited about this episode, you're going to love it, |
| 0:55.7 | you're going to enjoy it if you are married or thinking about marriage, whether you are gay, |
