I came in and I'm, you know, at this point, just a couple weeks away from delivery

and just heard the words that I never thought I would hear, which were just, I'm sorry.

And just had a moment to acknowledge what he was telling me that there was no heartbeat and that our baby had died.

Susan was devastated, but we reminded her of God's unfailing love.

And so focus on the family really was monumentally instrumental in teaching me this truth and healing me.

And the resource of focus on the family was teaching me to grieve with hope.

I'm Jim Daly.

Focus on the family.com slash family. Somehow life has a way of getting in the way of your romance.

There are long days, little frustrations,

and the spark that you once enjoyed is just, it's gone. And how do you get it back? I'm John

Fuller, joined by Dr. Greg Smalley and his wife, Aaron. They lead the Focus Marriage team.

And Aaron, it seems like every couple goes through seasons. I mean, we've, we've gone through seasons,

my wife and me, and there are ways that we can intentionally rekindle that sense of romance,

but it can be hard. And it's remembering that romance is not the grand gestures. It might be,

but really it's about daily reminders that really say, you matter and we matter.

And just the little things can make such a difference in building romance versus the grand

gestures. Because I don't want to say, I don't enjoy the grand gestures.

It's what I was hearing. You don't need to do that. No more expensive nights.

I like those.

But it really, it's the day-to-day keeping the marriage connected and alive in between the grand gestures.
