Help show kids the importance of marriage, family, and faith in Christ.

Support Focus on the Family as we launched the animated film Adventures in Odyssey

Journey Into the Impossible.

Over 9,000 children each year make decisions for Christ after listening to Adventures in Odyssey.

And you can help by donating to the film's launch.

There's a dollar-for-dollar match until May 1st, or your gift will be doubled when you give today. Simply go to focus on thefamily.com slash impossible.

Let's pretend your spouse irritated you the other day or last night or this morning,

and your response is to offer some constructive criticism.

Let us know how that goes.

Leave a note in the comments for the show notes page.

But actually, what if you prayed?

What if you took opportunity right then and there to,

instead of criticizing, just quietly pray for your spouse? I'm John Fuller. We're going to be talking

about prayer today with Greg and Aaron Smalley. And we're going to kick off now with a conversation

that Jim Daly had on his show, Focus on the Family. He spoke with Ron and Deb D. Armand, and they share about how

they've navigated frustrating moments in their relationship. You tell couples that you can't be

each other's Holy Spirit. Okay, that's the dagger of the program right there, because we do that in

marriage. We have expectations. We know you can do better because I do better in that area.

You could be doing better in that area.

And I'm in a fact trying to be the Holy Spirit in your life.

So speak to that straight.

Let me know why that's not a good approach.
