Mormon MarriagesAn Introduction To BoundariesThe concept of Boundaries is not something we talk about in Sunday School.
It's not a merit badge, or a young women's value.
But without boundaries, our marriages will not flourish and thrive like we want them to.
So, today we're going to give you an introduction into the concept of boundaries. What are they? How do they work? Why are they important? How do we set them? And how do we enforce them?

Mormon MarriagesThe Two Types of Marital ConflictDid you know there are actually two types of conflict in marriage?
Some conflict, like what to eat for dinner tonight, is resolvable conflict.
The rest of our conflicts - 69% to be exact - are unresolvable conflicts, like what to do if you're an early riser, and I'm a night owl. Or if you're fastidious and I'm cluttery.
If you try to solve an unsolvable problem, you're just going to get more upset and frustrated. (Each type of problem requires its own skillset.)
So, today we're going to talk about those two types of conflict, and how to handle them...

Mormon MarriagesAsk a Mormon Sex Therapist #31QUESTION #1My wife and I have been married for several years. Arousal used to come easily, but in the past two years, severe depression has taken its toll on my libido. When it's not depression, it's chronic fatigue. Arousal now takes far more effort than it used to. I've found that things like roleplay and reading erotica have helped to overcome these hurdles. These are things we've done and enjoyed in the past, but have become more prevalent during the times of depression, as they seem to provide a shortcut to arousal. This is helpful because, as a normal...

Your human nature has one single motive - to fight for what it deems as normal.
It will fight to a degree that you cannot win. So, what do you do?
Simple.
Redefine what’s normal.
All of a sudden, your human nature will work FOR you, instead of against you. This idea of controlling and creating what is normal is everything." -Seth Ellsworth
