Why Married Couples Need a Supportive Community?

Published on: 3rd April, 2025

"Having a community to journey with us also helps us to moderate our expectations of our spouse and our expectations of what a marriage should be, so that we do not become too idealistic or too unrealistic.” - Nam Seng 

Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to build a strong and satisfying marriage. Tune in to this episode to hear Nam Seng and Sok Mian share the benefits of journeying together with others and not walking alone in your marriage.

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.

While there are no perfect marriages, there is always room to grow to be the best spouse we can be. With practical tips, a whole lot of vulnerability and even a dose of humour, we hope that these episodes will provide hope and encouragement for your marriage.
