The “Help: My Spouse Is…” Series
Dr. Fitzgibbons has been a regular guest of The Abundant Life and we are thrilled to have him back this week on our new daily television program, Women of Grace.
Married couples face many challenges together with raising children, managing a home and finances, and just day to day living. In some cases, couples face additional challenges when one or both spouses have major emotional and character conflicts which limit their ability to give and receive love, resulting in marital unhappiness. Dr. Fitzgibbons addresses some of these issues on each of this weeks program and gives practical advice on what may be done to resolve them. You can watch each day on EWTN at 11:00 a.m. and the encore at 11:30 p.m.
You can also check out his website on the Insitute for Marital Healing where you will find much valuable information. They are offering a free webinar for those who may be or know someone struggling with pornography:

SL: “For fourteen years I have had hot flashes from menopause. Recently, I reached the end of my rope. In SC where I live there is a Dr. Susan Stegall on the radio. Her practice is called Integrative Health. I went to her office last week. She is not an MD but has studied alternative medicine. She uses a pressure method to determine where you need healing. The protocol (as she calls it) is then worked up and consists of homeopathic and herbs.When I went to her I had no idea of the technique she uses. While talking to me I saw her eyes focus on the crucifix around my neck. She made a point of telling me she is also a Christian. I use the protocol with my eyes fixed on Jesus and remain close to him. Am I in any kind of danger by seeing this doctor?”
