| 0:00.0 | The truth is there's hope for your marriage and you both want the same things and God wants the same things for you. |
| 0:08.0 | He's on your side. So just remember who the real enemy is and there is hope. |
| 0:14.0 | Matt and Lisa Jacobson joined us today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, |
| 0:19.0 | talking about some of the ways that you can strengthen the love |
| 0:22.0 | and the joy in your relationship with your spouse. Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller. |
| 0:27.6 | Well, John, we create a lot of marriage content here at Focus on the Family, primarily because |
| 0:32.2 | that's one of our major areas, is marriage and parenting and advocacy for kids and then engaging the culture |
| 0:39.6 | in addition to evangelism and helping people come to know the Lord. So marriage is one of those |
