"Navigating Marriage on the Farm" by Ted Matthews, Rural Mental Health Specialist

Unlike other occupations, farming often involves the entire family being actively engaged in the operation. As farming comes with daily challenges, it is easy to let stress and tension get in the way of a happy marriage. Ted Matthews, a rural mental health specialist in Minnesota, gives insight on how to overcome and prevent marital challenges on the farm in this “Rural Realities” podcast episode.
