Self-Care in Marriage

Published on: 2nd October, 2025

“Self-care is about bringing our best selves into a healthy, shared marriage space.” – Jared

“We’re relational beings—sharing our burdens supports well-being.” – Joyce

In this episode, host June chats with couple guests Jared and Joyce Tan, both trained couples' therapists and clinical psychologists, about the importance of self-awareness and mutual accountability in marriage. They explore how expressing personal needs and navigating life’s transitions can strengthen connection.

Caring for yourself is not selfish—it’s essential. Everyone recharges differently, so take time to reflect and reconnect. Self-care can be a shared journey that uplifts both you and your spouse, creating space for deeper connection, growth, and meaningful service to others.

Welcome to the Connect2 marriage podcast by Focus on the Family Singapore!

Married life can be filled with twists and turns, especially with the day-to-day priorities, and stresses in life, including the times we run into conflict with our spouse.

No matter the state of your relationship today, we want to help your marriage thrive.

Join us as we figure out life and love together, and go deep into the conversations and questions (often unspoken) about the toughest topics on connection, intimacy and lifelong love.
