  <title>Desperate Households</title>
  <link>http://www.delsolchurch.com/simple.htm</link>
  <description>White picket fences line manicured lawns of attractive homes.  It all looks so perfect in the “Desperate Housewives” TV neighborhood.  Things may look shiny on Wisteria Lane but underneath the glossy surface, darkness, sadness and anger simmer.  It’s plain to see that things are not always as they seem.

              Why is “Desperate Housewives” the hit show of the year?  Is it because we can relate?  At first glance, our lives look just fine but it’s no secret that households all across America are desperate and hurting.

Vista del Sol presents “Desperate Households” a teaching series about life, love and marriage.  We go beneath the surface to consider the struggles that every married couple faces… with trust, conflict, communication, sex, money, and the solutions God offers for a successful household.</description>

   <link>http://www.delsolchurch.com/simpleweb/podcasts/DH4_desperateinthebedroom.mp3</link>
   <description>&quot;The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality--the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband.  Marriage is not a place to stand up for your rights.  Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out.&quot;  1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (Msg)</description>
