How should you handle an out-of-town family reunion when one of your grandchildren wants to share a room with their live-in boyfriend? Why can’t my wife see that I have changed for the better? Doug goes to the mailbag answering these questions and more.

Ray - How do you respond when a third party intrudes in your marriage? (19:40)
Michelle - I was dating someone that was going to Church with me and we broke up and got back together. I kept seeing him with other women. Now he's baptized. What should I do? (38:05)
