Break 1

How do I love my husband well?

My wife thinks I don't care

Break 2

Fix what you can and sanctify the rest 

Ask your spouse what to pray for

What should you do when “The Formula” doesn’t work? What should you do when your wife doesn’t do what you ask? Doug goes to the mailbag answering these questions and more.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Mike - What do you think about common law marriage? (16:11)
Addison - I am struggling because my husband is stressed at work and our son has special needs. When we try to talk using the formula it starts a bad cycle. (21:35)
Greg - Do you have a brief description of narcissistic behavior? (36:23)
