In 1st Corinthians 728 it says, but those who marry will face many troubles in life.

And so it says in scripture, when you get married, you're going to face difficulties, you're

going to face hardships.

And I always say thank goodness we can do that together.

There's not another person that I would want to face some of the trials, some of the troubles

that we've experienced over 30 years of marriage.

I wouldn't want to go through any of that without Greg.

Thanks Aaron Smolley sharing some really good insights and encouragement about marriage.

And she and her husband Dr. Greg Smolley joined us last time to share a few of their romance

secrets that they've identified to help couples build a stronger, healthier relationship.

The Smollies have more to share today on this Valentine's episode of Focus on the Family.

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

John, last time we talked with Greg and Aaron, I thought in very practical ways about marriage

not being about combat but negotiation and just how do we move beyond our triggers emotionally

and find healthy ways to resolve conflict, even though they didn't like that word, conflict

resolution.

But you know, these are helpful things.

And you know, part of the goal here at Focus on the Family is to help equip you to have

the best marriage you could have.

And certainly we all need it.

Gene and I need it.

I'm sure you and Dean and need it.
