FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
About this episode

A good marriage is built on a foundation where both spouses are giving their best effort. However, what do you do when it feels like you're the only one doing all the work? John, Greg and Erin discuss how to respond when it seems like your spouse isn't doing his or her job. Featuring Pastor Kevin Thompson.
