How to Stay on the Same Team When Life Gets Heavy with Joel & Emily Malm

After years of adventure, ministry, and moving around the world together, Joel and Emily Malm learned that even good things can become too heavy to carry. They join Dave and Ashley to talk about recognizing when your spouse is overwhelmed, making space for conversations, and learning what to take out of the "backpack" before resentment builds.

Listener Question: I've thought about starting a marriage-focused blog, but I'm nervous about how much of our real struggles to share versus keep private. How do you decide what parts of your marriage struggles are okay to share publicly versus keep private?
