Episode 16 - Prioritizing Your Own Mental Health

Today’s topic is close to my heart and so crucial for the health of any relationship—how prioritizing your personal mental health can strengthen your marriage. One of my favorite quotes about managing your own mental health comes from Dr. David Schnarch. He says, “The most loving thing we can do for our spouse is to learn to regulate our own anxiety.” I strongly believe that it is our responsibility to care for ourselves and do what we need to keep our mental health in good shape. And keep an open line of communication with those close to us as we do, especially our spouse/life partner, so they can support us, which I’ll discuss more in next week’s episode. **Show notes and a full transcript of the episode can be found at https://aprioritizedmarriage.com/blog/podcast-episode-16-prioritizing-your-own-mental-health-for-your-marriage/
