Summary
Today we're tackling some of the really tough questions that listeners have submitted. We love answering listener questions, and Dr. Kim often answers one at the end of our episodes. This episode is a little different, since these are all questions that warrant more than a quick answer. While there are some hard realities, we also believe that there is hope for every marriage. Wherever your marriage is today, we believe God has hope and redemption for you!
Episode highlights include:
- Tips to talk to a spouse who "never has time" for hard conversations
- Feeling controlled when a spouse wants to know your whereabouts at all times
- Severe workload imbalance in the home and with finances
- Spouse's video game addiction
- Trusting husband in spite of being surrounded by immodesty
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
