Most of us would like to keep things up on top of the surface, but a lot of times life kind of makes you go down below and deal with some things that are kind of hard. What do you do? I'm John Fuller, joined by Greg and Aaron Smalley, and we're going to get going pretty quickly here as we listen to Focus on the Family with Jim Dailyaly. Jim spoke with Kathy Lipp about how to pray

through your struggles as a couple. So many husbands can add weight the guilt to this. And, you know,

speak to us as husbands how we help lift that burden. And I would think the formula would be that if your wife is praying and has a robust prayer life, you're going to be a happier husband. Amen. And sometimes I can just hear husbands who are saying, honey, we need to do this, we need to do that, or what happened to the house today? You know, not a wise question of husband coming home should ask. A friend who adds to. That's the best advice. But we can, we inadvertently, I think husbands,

we don't even understand the weight that we're putting on our spouses so that they feel they

don't have time. I think that if your wife comes to you and says, you know what, I need these 15

minutes or I need this half hour, is there a way that you could take the kids for that

amount of time? Or could you get up 15 minutes earlier? Or is there a way to create space

for your wife so that she has that time? And maybe it's just about me getting up earlier.

And I found that that was the solution for me. But just because I got up earlier didn't mean everybody's day started earlier. Well, and that's a good question. I was going to ask the other side of that. When should couples be praying together? That should be every day as well. Yeah, absolutely. And I think that for couples, it's really good to have a good book or a good, you know, something that you can just, a tool somehow.

And I know Focus has a ton of these kinds of resources, something that you can go to every day

and pray about. And the nice thing for Roger and I, while we may spend just a couple of minutes

in prayer, it often sets off a discussion for us that we wouldn't have had otherwise. And I can know a

little bit more about how he's feeling and the stresses that are going on in his day. And I think

for couples, one of the things, the best questions you can ask is, how can I pray for you today?
