Now the flame of passion starts to wane, and the person you pledged your life to is getting difficult to live with. What to do? Master teacher and TV personality Fulton Sheen gives advice to couples who are going through tough times.

Please note: This advice is not intended for individuals in abusive relationships or dangerous situations. All struggling spouses are encouraged to seek out professional counseling and spiritual direction for their unique challenges.
