AP 114: Supporting Spouses with Mental Health Struggles (+ how to have a better marriage) || with Matt and Celeste Davis

A good marriage takes work, that we know. But when mental health struggles come up for one or both spouses, it can try the most important relationship of our lives in very unique ways.   Matt and Celeste Davis believe that facing these struggles together can instead make a marriage even better. Both have taken turns struggling with depression (see their past solo episodes with me here and here!), so they know first-hand how to guide a spouse through a very difficult time.   The Davis family thrives off of openness, communication, vulnerability, and strength--both independently AND together.    Listen in to hear their tips for helping a spouse through a dark time, how you need to be a care-giver, not a savior, and that talking, talking, talking is the best thing you can do for your marriage.   Show Notes: Matt's past interview Celeste's past interview Last week's interviews with Ashton Barrett and Melissa Lewis Monica's Facebook and Instagram Contact Monica for podcast consulting and Progress Coaching More Podcasts from About Progress Song Credit: "Sweet Promise" and "Warm Lights" by Nicolai Heidlas Learn more about your ad choices.
