I think the greatest thing that I did is that I got on my knees and said, God, I can't do this.

Evidently, I've been failing at how I'm trying to love Dave.

I thought I was doing a good job, but I'm not.

And so, God, I give you my life again.

I just resurrender all of myself to you.

It's Romans 12-1, you know, to lay your life down as a living sacrifice.

Well, that's Ann Wilson describing some of the challenges of marriage and working through issues

with your spouse and how to reconnect in positive, healthy ways. And in her husband, Dave,

our guest today on Focus on the Family, and we're glad to have you along.

I'm John Fuller.

John, we had a really insightful conversation, probably one of those ones I classify as a little touchy

when it comes to marital issues and how to make this thing we call marriage the best it can be,

especially for those of us who are Christians under the guidance of the Lord and the Word of God.

That's what we want, right?

But sometimes culture seeps into us and our attitudes grow a little harder to deal with.

And Anne's written this wonderful book.

And, you know, again, I think wives will feel pointed out.

That's not the goal here, but her book that she wrote is called How to Speak Life to

Your Husband when all you want to do is yell at him.

Now, do any men feel you've ever lived that moment with your wife?

Okay.

Sure.
