Listener questions and comments:

Joe – Is it possible for someone with borderline personality disorder to heal and have a happy marriage? (10:29)
Bob – My wife and I have different ideas about sex. She thinks I should see a therapist, because I think about sex too much. What do you think? (16:38)
Jeanie – I’ve been married for 60 years in an overall happy marriage. We’re in our 80s, and my husband’s becoming overly protective and it’s driving me crazy. (23:09)
Rita – Regarding a previous caller on intimacy and sexual innuendos. Tenderness in a non-sexual way goes a long way. (35:18)
Kathleen – What’s kept us together is that marriage takes three, with God. Ending the marriage in divorce was not an option. You can only work through problems with the Lord. (39:11)
