| 0:31.2 | Today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, marriage coach and author Dan Seaborne is going to help you have a happier marriage |
| 0:38.2 | by making a few simple adjustments in how you view your spouse. |
| 0:43.1 | I tell Jane all the time, I like how you do that. It's not the way I do it, but I like that. |
| 0:48.8 | God made you that way. I need to celebrate that because it's good. It makes me more well-rounded when I think about it from that |
