Doug continues to discuss how to strengthen the emotional connection with your spouse. He also tackles the question of what to do if your spouse accuses you of being too religious.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Maryalice - I am meeting guys who are single or divorced and they are not empathetic but very selfish. They just talk about themselves. Before people are married shouldn’t they have figured out that they are selfish people? (27:28)
Suzanne - I remarried two years ago and it’s been challenging. I feel like there are a lot of things I can’t tell my husband. (32:22)
Deedee - What does the gospel say about to how to stay married? (41:25)
