The holidays have a way of turning the volume up on everything — stress, relationships, emotions, expectations… and sometimes even our sniffles. In this pre-holiday, slightly-unscripted, very real episode of Living Well Together, we’re doing what we do best: pulling up a couple of chairs, talking honestly, and sorting through life together.

From marriage and faith to teamwork, journaling, stress, and the tiny daily disciplines that quietly shape our lives, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from commitment. We talk about what it really looks like to grow in faith together, why your marriage isn’t something to “fix” but something to steward, and how consistency in the small things creates strength when life feels heavy.

We also dive into:
- Why the holidays amplify both joy and tension
- How partnership, humor, and grace keep a marriage strong
- The power of morning pages, journaling, and offloading stress to God
- Why “little disciplines” matter more than big, dramatic changes
- Protecting your marriage with intention (no vacancy signs included 😉)
- Managing stress as a team instead of carrying it alone

This episode is honest, lighthearted, faith-filled, and grounded in real life — the kind of conversation you listen to and think, “Yep… we’re not the only ones.”
