Protecting your marriage in a faith crisis (Part 1) - Tony Overbay - Episode 160

48 minutes

For the next few weeks we will be running previous episodes that you may not have heard before! With over 150 past episodes, we have so many great topics and guests in the archives to choose from. We are taking this break to gear up for another exciting announcement coming soon. We can’t wait to share more!

I'm joined by therapist and fellow podcaster, Tony Overbay, to talk about how couples can stay connected to each other when one partner leaves their shared faith. This is often a transition that is difficult for most couples to navigate, as a departure from the beliefs and values that brought them together can introduce new questions and fears about their future. In this episode, we discuss:

Why it's called a faith crisis

Why this is so difficult for couples

The first thing couples should know if one of them begins to experience this

The healthiest way for the one struggling with their faith to address their change

How the other spouse can respond in a healthy way

How couples can work together even though they're going different directions.
