My wife and I have certainly been weather-tested when it comes to raising teenagers. And even now, we still tussle over how to relate to our adult children.

When our twenty-five year old son announced his divorce, Jan and I couldn’t see eye-to-eye on what to do or what to say. We were confused and hurt, and it took its toll on our marriage. We started drifting apart, setting up emotional foxholes and hunkering down alone. And it took the grace of God to snap us out of the funk and get us back together and focused.

Are you and your spouse facing a crisis at home? Working through the pain alone is not an option. Pull together and get on the same page. Your marriage deserves it. And your teen needs a united family now more than ever.
