The episode begins with Dr. Laura addressing the issue of withholding affection in marriage, emphasizing that personal struggles are not valid excuses for neglecting a spouse's emotional needs. She underscores the importance of affection in maintaining strong relationships, even during challenging times.
Personal problems are not a justification for withholding affection.
Some people aren’t raised with affection. They haven’t been taught to be loving and caring. It wasn’t modeled for them. But that’s not a reason to withhold loving affection from your spouse.
