About this episode

Managing your spouse’s mental illness requires deep patience, a willingness to learn, and active reliance on God’s daily grace. While navigating diagnoses like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder can feel overwhelming, you can successfully support your partner by educating yourself on their specific condition, attending counseling, and establishing clear relational boundaries. Ultimately, honoring your marriage vows through these trials reflects Christ’s unconditional love, shaping your own character while offering hope and stability to your home.--The PursueGOD Family podcast helps you think biblically about marriage and parenting.
