Thank you for downloading the Focus on the Family Parenting Podcast. You can find more helpful advice at

Focus on the Family.com slash parenting podcast.

So you fell in love with your spouse probably because you had fun together maybe

you had great conversations about important things you both cared about but that was

long ago and now like many couples your marriage has gone on to

autopilot because you have kids. In the busyness of day-to-day life it is hard to find time

to really connect with your spouse. I'm John Fuller with Danny

Werta. He heads up our parenting and youth department here at Focus on the

family and we want to encourage you it's not too late to find your way back to the relationship you once had with your spouse,

pre-children.

Let's hear from David Clark.

He's an author and licensed psychologist.

Love how he just speaks so boldly and so black and

white he sat down with focus president Jim Daly and me and shared some great

advice to strengthen your marriage in the midst of stressful parenting.

David in your book I want to you know have you fess up here because it's said you

said you cheated in your high school literature class now first of all you shouldn't

cheat David is that like a see

prioritizing your marriage I can't believe you connected these two we have to

read these horrible books.
