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)
