This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Joining me today is Ramsey personality, Dr. John Deloney.

Hope is with us in Midland, Texas.

Hi, Hope. How are you?

Hi, and how are you guys doing today?

Better than we deserve. What's up?

Well, first off, I just want to say what a pleasure it was to see both of you at Summit this year in Dallas.

That was very enjoyable. Thank you. Thank you for coming. It was a great event. We had a lot of fun.

It was great.

My question today, actually, just a background, my husband and I together started our own business 13 years ago.

And it's just over the last four or five years, it's gone downhill.

He and I have a lot of issues with communicating, almost to the extent of not communicating at all,

but it is affecting our business a great deal because he and I are not on the same page as far as strategy, how to go about the operation

of the business and get it going. So I guess my question is what kind of advice you might

would have a relationship as well as just keeping our business afloat and moving it forward when we're not on the same page at all.

How's your marriage?

Suffering because of it.

Is it the chicken or the egg?

Are they self-reinforcing one another?

My guess is things were tough at home, and they become tough in the office,

and they become tougher at home, and the thing just spins faster and faster.

Have you guys stepped away from everything and gone over to Dallas for a weekend
