Whether you watch television, movies, listen to music, or eve play a video game; women or demoralized through how they are treated or portrayed. Movies and television portray women in a way that they are sexual objects for men. Back to the television of my childhood, you didn’t have any naked scenes and in most cases that included men not taking their shirts off. Take the time and think back to the Walton’s, Little House on the Prairie, or even more recent The Cosby Show. I do not remember those shows showing anybody in a naked setting. We have allowed our society to dictate what we as families watch. It is now common practice to see the whole backside of a man in prime time television and it does not cause one bit of concern. Movies are no different; Bill Cosby in his book Love and Marriage talks about seeing Jane Russell in a movie and how she was no PG-13, and how her blouse was a wake up call for his Hormones.

Our communication breaks down and since we are not developing that communication skill it causes stress in the marriage. The next thing you know you are at work talking with co-workers, or maybe it is even at church. You start confiding in a friend (most usually of the opposite sex) about your marriage issues. Now you are depositing into the relationship bank instead of the one at home with your wife. Your time spent talking with your wife becomes about arguing over money, bills and other issues. When you argue that is taking money out of that relationship account. Our marriages are becoming bankrupt in the relationship account.
