Suffering in marriage

Husband gives me the silent treatment

Depression, prayer, and medication

Doug discusses suffering in marriage.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Jennifer - How much suffering is too much? (8:44)
Candy - I have been married for 40 years. My husband goes into funks and won’t talk to me for a day or up to 3 months. I start getting upset and I don’t know what to do. (19:37)
Elaine - I was divorced in 1991 and he was having an affair with his secretary since 1989. It was awful and I wanted to save the marriage but I had lost to this woman. I wonder what would have happened if I had stuck around. (27:46)
Rocco - Mary at the Wedding of Cana might have said what she said to the servants because of her perspective as a married woman. She was invested in the wedding going well and starting the marriage off well. (34:51)
Mike - I suffer from depression myself and one thing I find is that medication helps. Prayer life will also help. (37:41)
Deedee - What is the difference between the 6th and 9th commandments? Which is worse? (41:45)
Anthony - My wife revealed trauma from her childhood (incest and rape) and she told me ten years after we got married. We divorced because of it. She kept this from me before marriage. (44:09)
