In this episode we discuss Jessica's anxiety as a pastor's wife, as a spouse, and as a millennial. There is no perfect way to deal with anxiety and it is different for everyone. If you are suffering from anxiety you are not alone, and it is nothing to be ashamed of; if you are a spouse of someone with anxiety, though you might not always understand your presence is appreciated.

Parents, grandparents, friends, movies, TV shows, church, school. We see different examples of relationships everywhere and throughout our lives we create this image of what a marriage should be and how a spouse should act. All of that can amount in a lot of baggage we bring into a marriage. In this episode we lay out our baggage and discuss how we grew up shaped what we expected in a marital relationship.

Many marriages combine different cultures; some are racial, some are ethnic, some are geographic. Everyone has a culture that makes life seem "normal" to them, but when you marry someone with a different culture there can tend to be learning curves.
