The Spiritual Reality of Marriage

Impossible marriage redeemed

Disagreements on religion

Courtship for long distance couples

Avoiding family breakdown

Laugh at yourself

Doug examines a case study about a marriage that had nearly fallen apart but was eventually revived. In this relationship, the couple got engaged after just four months. Although the wife had doubts about the marriage, she reassured herself that even if it didn’t work out, she would at least have children.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Matt - Do you recommend a longer courtship for long distance couples? (36:51)
Cecil - My wife left my marriage after her parents died. I am wondering if she was wrong for leaving. Should I look for a divorce after 15 years? (46:32)
