Financial support and keeping the love alive

12 promises of the Sacred Heart

You be the Therapist

Interacting with other couples

Doug shares his advice

Are these the tough years? What happens when married life becomes boring? What happens when a husband doesn’t provide enough financial support for his wife? You be the therapist! Callers weigh in and Doug shares his advice on what to do in these situations.

Listener questions and comments:
Sue - The couple in the first situation should make sure to have a date night every week. It’s also a good thing for the couple to write a gratitude list every day. (18:32)
Olivia - When things are so stressful and you need time alone, you should get up earlier together and spend time with God. (23:20)
Michelle - Take a look at finances, and figure out why both are working. (25:19)
Joanne - One of the greatest indicators of a successful marriage is for a man to part with his money and provide for his wife. (30:59)
Elizabeth - Case 1: They just need to mix it up a little and connect to other people in similar life circumstances. Case 2: I would say that the wife needs to reach out to her husband's family members (36:32)
David - Nothing is 50/50 when the priest announces the couple is one. (45:24)
