Marriages with one or both spouses employed in ministry face unique pressures, challenges, and opportunities. Over the years, we change, our ministries change, and the pressures on us change. How can we navigate these changes in a way that draws us closer to each other instead of driving us apart?
In this discussion, recorded at TGC25, Michael and Lucy Aitcheson talk with Jim and Angela Davis about their experiences of seeking to keep their marriage healthy while ministering faithfully.
