Humor in Marriage

Is teasing acceptable in marriage? How about playful sarcasm? Today, Doug unpacks a letter by Alice Von Hildebrand from her book By Love Refined. Doug shares how humor can be a great thing but can be hurtful if you cross the line and that the key for both spouses is to focus on the other’s virtues and qualities. Doug also shares advice on what to do when you begin to lose friends because your son has come out as gay. PLUS: The Friday Rant!   Listener questions and comments: Joe - I have a 14-year-old daughter and I found that she has been having a lesbian relationship over the phone with her friend. I need help and I just happened to turn on the radio tonight! (21:08) Tim - I am 23 and will be getting married soon. My parents are struggling in their marriage. What can I do to help? (25:35) Karen - Comment for Joe and his daughter: Expect the 15-year-old to divert his attention by freaking out. He should calmly respond that 'no one in the world loves you more than your mother and I'. (33:21) George - My wife and I are in a lot of trouble. She is unforgiving and we have no sex life. I feel a lot of temptation. (36:50) Margie - Comment for Joe and his daughter: I had a son who went this way too. I highly recommend that they give themselves time to research and figure out how they should proceed. Just prepare your heart and be prayerful before the talk. Also, SPEND TIME WITH HER!
