Summary

Too often, we fill our lives to the brim and our marriages suffer as a result. The problem is that life is unpredictable. We need extra space—MARGIN—so we have patience, time, and resources to deal with life's unpredictability in a healthy way. In this week's episode, Ryan and Selena discussed why busyness is overrated, how to prioritize, and three practical areas where margin is vital for a healthier life and marriage.
