Summary

In this episode Dr. Kim and Chrstina talk about how to recover from an open marriage.

Dr. Kim shares about what an open marriage is, what God says, and how to recover from this kind of sexual baggage.

We encourage you to not skip this episode even if that's not your story. We are facing a culture where open marriages may very well become more common and sexual boundaries are being disregarded. Tune it so you can learn and better understand how to help people who may face this.

And here is what we know is true: we all have experienced some kind of betrayal sexually in our marriage because every one sins sexually whether it's lust, a look or thought that lasted too long, porn, or flirting, on an outright affair or open marriage. So we can all gain some wisdom from this conversation.

*We do want to mention as a disclaimer we do talk about some hard things in this episode. It is not an episode you want to listen to around children. Also, we do briefly mention sexual abuse so we want to give that trigger warning for anyone who has experienced that.

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
