Marriage on the mission field can be one of your greatest sources of strength—or one of your biggest stressors.

In this powerful conversation with Danny and Stephanie Gutierrez, hosted by Amy Young, we get real about the challenges missionary couples face and the hope available even when things feel messy. Whether you’re in crisis or just need to reconnect, this episode is packed with honest stories, laughs, and practical ways to strengthen your marriage starting today.

From crisis moments to everyday connection, this episode will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and equipped to move toward each other again.


📌 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• How to recognize when your marriage needs attention before it hits a crisis point
• What to do if you and your spouse are growing apart on the field
• Why practical needs (like rest or privacy) really do affect connection
• The power of intentional curiosity and how to rediscover each other again
• Where to start if you feel stuck, disconnected, or just plain tired

💭 Questions to Ponder as You Listen:

• Where are we right now? Are we thriving, surviving, or slowly drifting apart?
• Am I making my marriage a priority over ministry or just assuming it will "be fine"?
• What kind of small connection moment do we need more of right now?
• How open am I to really listening to my spouse's experience?
• What is one intentional step I can take this week to move us closer?
