Ever felt helpless when your spouse is struggling with a major issue? How can you be there for them when things are just not working out? 

In this top ten episode from Season 5, Steve and Mary Alessi dove into the heart of marriage by unpacking seven powerful ways couples can support each other when life turns upside down. As they discuss the events that inspired Steve to write "Forty-Two: A Guide to Finishing Strong When You Were Almost Finished",, they prove that we can find the strength we need to support those we love the most. 

 You’ll hear how showing up during tough times not only heals your marriage but also sets a new standard for your children to follow. With practical insights and candid confessions, Steve and Mary show you that being “Team Us” during life’s hardest moments turns ordinary marriages into unbreakable bonds.
