The best marriages have a teamwork mentality. Spouses serve each other, support each other, and celebrate each other. They tackle life together, and when one slips, the other gives grace. Husbands and wives can be vulnerable with each other because they know they rise and fall as one.

Do you want a marriage like this? On each episode of the Team Us: Christian Marriage Podcast, married couple Ted and Ashleigh Slater come alongside you and your spouse as friends and mentors. They talk openly, honestly, and humorously about the betters and the worsts of their marriage, sharing how grace, commitment, cooperation, and lots of laughter have kept them united over the years.

Whether you’re newly married and desire to build a strong foundation, or you’ve been married longer and your relationship needs a little TLC, you’ll gain practical, realistic ideas for strengthening your Team Us.

3 Ways to Stay Connected as You Parent

Should you vent to your spouse? Today, we talk about what venting is and share three key questions to ask yourself before you dive into an emotionally-charged vent.

3 KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK
What fuels my desire to vent about this particular frustration, situation, or person?
If I vent in my emotional-charged state, will we be reacting or responding to whatever has upset me?
Will what I share be beneficial to my spouse and our relationship?

TAKE THE "US TIME" CHALLENGE

If you find yourself ready to vent about something this week, pause first. Ask yourself these three questions and determine if you need to calm down before sharing.
