Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

Enjoying Marriage at Any Age

When the kids are grown and age starts to creep in, how do you love your spouse well? Larry McCall explores this often-overlooked season of marriage—a time of quieter homes, shifting schedules, and new realities like becoming grandparents, facing health challenges, or learning to slow down. Larry reminds us that marriage isn’t about personal happiness but about reflecting Christ’s love through selfless service, even in times of change or transition. You’ll learn how to grow closer, serve with purpose, mentor others, and finish well by leaving a legacy of faith, love, and Christ-centered devotion.

Maintaining a Thriving Marriage in Midlife and Beyond

Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Shannon Warden compare family life to renovating a home — you need a good “blueprint” or plan for how you want your family to grow, and a solid foundation of godly character traits like kindness, love, forgiveness, building trust, building connection, and having fun together. Parents and kids need to be “all in” and working as a team to instill these traits into their relationships. Dr. Chapman also talks about the 5 Love Languages, and Dr. Warden shares several stories about parenting her own children.
