Hi, I'm Erin Smolley.

We all need encouragement and marriage.

So if you want biblical guidance on your journey, check out our podcast, Crazy Little Thing

Called Marriage, which I host with my husband, Dr. Greg Smolley.

We chat with some great folks about how you can make your marriage stronger every day.

Listen at crazylittlething Called Marriage.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

When as a couple, you face a hard time, let's say a financial storm or something related

to that, some real stressful difficulty.

There can be some lingering bitterness and anger that comes kind of out of the blue sometimes.

Afterwards, how do you work through that?

I'm John Fuller along with Erin Smolley and usually her husband, Greg, is here.

He's not able to join us today.

Greg and Erin lead the focus on the family marriage team.

And Erin, we have said this time and again, but you counsel a lot of couples and you bring

wisdom that you've gained over the years and some personal experiences too, because you

and Greg admittedly don't have a perfect marriage.

What are some of the most common emotions after a stressful time, after a battle or after

some external circumstances has kind of taken the energy and all the closeness out of

the relationship?

You know, we might see some things at the top above the water line.

So what presents might be different than really what's going on underneath.

Okay, so the top of the iceberg might sound like anger.
