What can a husband do when his wife seems disconnected, distracted, or emotionally distant? In this special Q&A episode of Family Vision, Rob and Amy Rienow respond to two heartfelt questions from husbands—one whose wife is always on her phone, and another who feels like his wife has nothing left to give after pouring everything into the kids.

Next week, we hear directly from husbands asking tough questions about their wives. Don’t miss this continuation of our honest Q&A series for couples and families.

Were David and Jonathan more than friends? In today’s episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow addresses a growing cultural accusation that their biblical relationship was romantic. With clarity, grace, and a commitment to Scripture, Rob walks through the key texts that describe their friendship and explains why the Bible celebrates their bond as a model of godly loyalty, not romance.

This is a critical conversation for families to hear, especially as confusion about gender, sexuality, and biblical manhood continues to grow. Learn how to respond with truth and love, and help your children understand the beauty of God’s design for friendship and relationships.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- Why the Bible never describes David and Jonathan’s friendship as romantic

- How cultural assumptions distort the meaning of godly friendship

- What Scripture actually says about love between friends

- How to talk to your kids about biblical sexuality and God’s good design
