320: Is Masturbation Okay in Marriage?

Get Your Marriage On! with Dan Purcell

About

Is masturbation okay in a Christian marriage? It's a common question, but one many couples are afraid to ask—and few people answer directly.

In this episode, Dan offers two practical tests to help you and your spouse decide what is right for your marriage.

He also explores the difference between masturbation, lust, and fantasy; potential benefits for intimacy and body awareness; and how to navigate the conversation when you and your spouse disagree. This isn't about handing every couple the same answer. It's about replacing fear and shame with wisdom, openness, and honest communication.
