Welcome to Merit Today Podcast. I'm Karen and this is my husband Jimmy and guess what

we're talking about today. We're talking about intimacy. Physical and spiritual intimacy,

that's right. And I have a great question for you. Okay. I open my dream business, my wife's

support of the decision, but now she complains I spend too much time at work. I'm frustrated.

Well, this is the problem. I open my dream business. Okay. So it doesn't seem like she's very

connected. Yeah. Okay. And then my wife's support of the decision, but now she complains

I spend too much time at work. It doesn't matter that it's your dream business. You have a dream

marriage. You know, if you're going to, if you're going to be able to have a successful marriage,

it always has to be first. But it'd be like saying, a wife saying, I had my dream child.

You know, and now my husband complains all I do is raise that child. It would be just as wrong.

It doesn't matter how much you enjoy something. You have to keep the priority of your marriage.

Marriage can't work unless it's in first place. So when a wife is complaining, she's trying to

get your heart. She's not nagging. She's fighting for the integrity of the relationship. And I'm

just saying this, if your business, for your business to succeed, if it causes your marriage to fail,

you need to give that business up. Okay. It's a bad business. But you shut the door, go home,

have a happy wife, and a successful business. And trust God. Yeah, that's good. Okay. This is a question

to you from one of our listeners. My husband doesn't like to pray in front of other people

even before meals. How can I help give him the confidence he needs? It's a good question. I know

for you, when we first got married, it was hard for you to pray too. And you know, prayer is just

talking. It's just a relationship of God. You know, it's not religious. It's not, you know,

you have to know all the right words. It's just asking Father God who loves us and wants the best for

us. Who tells us that if he takes care of the birds, how much more do you want to take care of us?
