Did you know there’s been a 34% increase in divorce since Covid hit? Recent data from LegalTemplates revealed that most couples attributed the decision to pandemic-related stressors. We decided it was important to chat with a couple who is passionate about both mental health and marriage. Pastors James and Lisa Duvall lead the marriage ministry at Christ Fellowship, and Lisa recently became a certified mental health coach.
Key Takeaways:
- How James decided to take Lisa’s childhood baggage and make it “our story” and “our issue” rather than “her story” and “her issue.”
- The importance of full disclosure and vulnerability in marriage.
- How they locked arms through a ministry blow-up, parenting struggles, and identity issues (instead of blaming one another).
- The importance of confronting lies with the truth when facing mental health challenges.
The Duvalls shared so much wisdom and real-life experience. This episode is one you don’t want to miss!
