Ann Asks the Scariest Question Ever

August 7, 2026

Okay, I want you to be honest, and tell me where I can grow as a wife.

Ann Wilson: Okay, I want you to be honest and tell me where I can grow as a wife.

Dave Wilson: Do you really want me to be honest?

Ann Wilson: I'm kind of excited about this because you seldom tell me negative things and I need to hear them.

Guest (Male): This is Real FamilyLife with Dave and Ann Wilson.

Dave Wilson: The first thought that comes to my mind is not every moment can be Christmas. Not every moment can be the greatest moment in life. Not every birthday party has to be the greatest birthday party in the universe for me, or kids, or the grandkids.

Ann Wilson: But it does! Every single moment!

Dave Wilson: In one sense, I don't want to say it because it's awesome that I'm married to somebody that creates moments of celebration and that's great. But every day doesn't have to be the best.

Ann Wilson: I can be a little intense. I will totally admit that.

Dave Wilson: Over the top sometimes.

Ann Wilson: It is.

Ask your spouse tonight where they think you can grow.
