Monica Hinderer joins Doug to continue their discussion on how children impact marriage. Today they focus on conflicts over parenting styles.

Listener questions and comments:

• Mark – My folks were united but pretty strict, and I rarely saw them disagree about how to raise their children. Maybe being united isn’t always what it seems. (20:27)
• Pete – As I got older, I began to understand the discipline and sacrifices my parents made for me. That’s what motivated me to step up and work harder. I came from a family of seven kids. (26:18)
• Joan – My husband and I had different parenting styles. Three of our children are gay, and they barely talk to us anymore. I resent my husband because I tried to raise our kids in the faith, but he didn’t share that commitment. Do you think that made a difference? (27:35)
• Monica – My daughter is overprotective in her parenting. She has two girls, ages 3½ years and 1 month old. (38:48)
• Julie – For those of us who are remarried in the Church, with children from previous marriages and different parenting styles, navigating family life can be challenging. (42:15)
• Tom – To help defuse tension between parents, I pray to my guardian angel to help facilitate communication with their guardian angels. (45:14)
