Episode Synopsis

Doug reflects on what we can learn from mentally strong people and how their habits can strengthen our marriages. He also responds to listeners facing deep family struggles, from broken communication with adult children to navigating separation and betrayal in marriage.   Listener questions and comments: Juan – My daughter got married 5 years ago and completely changed. We rarely see the grandkids or hear from her, and I’m worried since she used to be close to the Church. (23:46)   Alec – We’ve been separated since January after she had an affair. We’ve been married 5 years and have a two-year-old, and I need some guidance. (38:35)   Ramon – Like Juan, my daughter stopped calling and seeing the grandkids much. I later found out she was having problems and finally was able to talk to her.
