I would just encourage husbands, it may not be a dance team for your wife, but like find a way to give her that time,

and then I'm telling you when she sees you being intentional about giving her that time,

it naturally she feels cherished and she's going to lean in more to you because she knows

you're trying to be a true partner. That's Ashley Willis talking about the need to

be intentional in your marriage and she and her husband Dave are once again

with us here at Focus on the family.

Thank you for joining us.

Your host is Focus President and author Jim Daly, and I'm John Fuller.

marriage and everybody goes what what did he just say but it's talking about that

And that is a good metaphor for where we need to get to in our intimacy, emotional intimacy,

intellectual intimacy, emotional intimacy, intellectual intimacy, physical intimacy, as we move into

our marriage.

I'm telling you, more marriages would be thriving if we could be vulnerable like that.

They've written, they speak a lot, they do a lot of different things.

They have a podcast, an online marriage community,

stronger marriages.org, and you can learn all about them and these great books,
