Doug discusses the challenges and suffering that can arise in marriage, emphasizing the importance of redemptive suffering and the need to find meaning and purpose in our suffering rather than waste it.

Listener questions and comments:

• Heidi – I am in a difficult marriage but what helps is to offer up the things that he does to me and then maybe he will suffer less later. (29:50)
• Mark – Can you clarify the question about children and offering up suffering. (35:02)
• Joseph – You gave a great answer when somebody was going through suffering and you suggested that she ‘be saintly’ and suffer well. (37:00)
• Lara – I don’t think people realize that when you ask for prayer you are hoping to help someone else in your life. (41:35)
