"Desire & Lust", "Pre-Marital or Non Marital Sex" & "Will Heaven Lack Something?" | ACW273

Questions answered this episode:

• I’m struggling with the line between desire and lust in the context of marriage. Can I watch my wife shower and not fall into lust?
  
• What is it about marriage that makes desires and actions that, if otherwise took place outside of it would be sinful, not sinful?
• Will heaven get better after the end times? Will heaven be lacking something when only our souls are there awaiting our reunion with out glorified bodies?
