Doug finishes his discussion on how to repair the damage after a fight. He also shares what to do when your family treats your spouse badly. Plus: The Friday Rant!

Listener questions and comment:

Ron - My wife tries to take charge of everything, but I believe I am called to lead our home. This has been an ongoing struggle throughout our more than 40 years of marriage. She prefers to have the final say in most situations, and I feel I have not been allowed to fulfill what I believe is my God-given role as the leader of our household. (12:35)
Luciano - A friend is refusing to attend our wedding and declined our invitation because we were in a relationship before our annulment. Am I in the right? (23:18)
