What are you doing wrong? I'm like, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm like, well, I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong either. And we were looking for where to place blame. Yeah. And for the middle of the high rest at Pam, it's not you. It's not me. It's just life.

That's Bill Farrell and he and his wife Pam join us today on Focus on the Family with

Jim Daly. Thank you for being along. I'm John Fuller.

Hey here's an observation.

Every marriage goes through some predictable and unavoidable transition.

You ever think of that?

I have. I've experienced that.

It's just the nature of relationships.

I think we have those expectations we lay it out and then it all starts happening.

It's quite different than what we expected.

And we're all familiar with big transitions in marriage like baby makes three and

maybe another baby makes four I can do that math how about you for you indeed it was baby makes

six we're up to you a houseful yeah and so you know that's part of it and there are other

transitions along the way that will significantly impact your time your

energy your relationship with each other as spouse.

Gene and I think we're, you know, we've got one out and the other one's got a foot out and so we're, you know,

going through that whole thing, like what do we do with the house now

you know all the big decisions are we going to stay there I think we are but you know

it just changes everything it's important to learn how to handle these

transitions I love the Farrell's our guests today

because they really give us such practical advice every time they come on and talk about the issue

of marriage and I'm looking forward to this discussion because I think it'll apply to me.
