| 0:00.0 | Most women do not get at all how their husband's minds work and vice. |
| 0:08.0 | Most husbands don't have a clue of what it means to love your wife appropriately in a way and what romance really is all about. |
| 0:16.0 | Yeah, we don't. We just assume that my husband must be like me. |
| 0:20.0 | Hey friend, welcome to Javua, Jouy. We don't. We just assume that my husband must be like me. |
| 0:25.1 | Hey friend, welcome to Java with Julie. |
| 0:33.8 | I am your host, as always, Julie Slattery, and this podcast is an outreach of a ministry called Authentic Inimacy, helping you make sense of God in sexuality. |
| 0:38.2 | Well, today we're going to reach way back in the archives to bring you one of my favorite job with Julie episodes. This is a conversation with Hannah Nitz as we sat down with |
| 0:44.1 | pastor and author Chip Ingram to ask him what husbands wish their wives understood about |

| 1:24.3 | If you or your spouse are struggling with pornography addiction, infidelity, or working through past sexual trauma in your marriage. If you or your spouse are struggling with pornography addiction, infidelity, or working |
| 1:29.9 | through past sexual trauma in your marriage, I still encourage you to listen today, but we've also |
| 1:34.9 | selected some blogs and video Q&As that offer advice more specific to your situation. And we'll |
| 1:41.4 | link to those in our show notes. And now, Chip Ingram, who is the guest in this |
| 1:45.5 | episode, is the CEO and Teaching Pastor of Living on the Edge, an international teaching |
| 1:50.6 | and discipleship ministry. He's the author of 21 books, and he's passionate about helping |
| 1:55.5 | everyday believers apply God's truth to their lives. And I honestly love Chip, could have talked to him all day long. |
