Doug's advice for the older couple

Start a shared playlist with your spouse

You be the therapist as Doug shares the stories of two couples—one celebrating 30 years of marriage and the other just beginning their journey as newlyweds.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Joe - My wife has decided to leave the Church and had a sterilization without my consent. What do I do? (5:02)
Mary - Comment for Joe: His wife did what she did because she felt like she had no control over her pain. She needs to feel like she is in control. (16:57)
Joe - Is it a bad idea to elope? I want it to be valid but I want my parents not to know. (20:58)
Mary - Comment: if I had ever met a man like Doug, I would be happily married but I should have never got married. My husband is dead but he was a pain in the butt. (34:34)
David - For the 30-year marriage one of them or both have given up hope on communicating with each other. There needs to be a safe place to go where they can share the pain and get through it. (39:57)
Jennifer - For the younger couple they need to sit down and have a clear goal about what they are doing to get out of the house and maybe doing more things that get them out of the house. (43:39)
