Whether you're coming from a place of not receiving the support you need from your husband, or being really honest about the fact that you aren't providing your husband support...this podcast is for you.
You heard us mention in a previous episode, that enthusiasm begets enthusiasm…well, we're here to tell you that support begets support.
And one of the best ways to GET support is TO support. Not to mention that supporting is literally a part of our vocations.
My husband and I have a phrase we often come back to and that's "I'll lift thee and thee lift me...and together we will rise" it's an old quaker proverb, but it’s a beautiful reminder for both of us that we are in this vocation together and our end goal is Heaven.
Our goal in marriage is a symbiotic and loving relationship. One where we are leading each other toward Christ and being each other's best support. When your spouse is successful, YOU are successful. Everyone in the family benefits from the success of the other.

These are just a few ideas, and if you haven’t listened to episode 74 – go back and catch our first interview on the podcast. We talked with Karyn Macfarlane, a professional violinist, and a certified professional coach to the spouses of professional athletes and musicians. She shared some wonderful insights and even more tactics for supporting your spouse!
