Don't Let Stress Weary Your Marriage

STRESS - We all feel it, we all succumb to its effects sometimes and it’s a part of life that some may say is more obvious in fast-paced Singapore. Amidst the pandemic, we have also been hearing more about the mental load of going through this pandemic. Whether it’s work stress, parenting stress or a personal crisis, how do we make sure we don’t let it kill our marriages and relationships at home?

Joining our host, Aaron Ng, in the studio for this episode is husband and wife, Douglas and Vanessa Yeap. They share candidly about the challenges that they are currently facing, and how they cope with the stress of being a working mother and running a small business, yet working towards being involved parents and keeping their marriage healthy.

Douglas and Vanessa have been married for 11 years and have a 5 year old son. Douglas is a radio podcast producer and runs Amplify Podcast, a Christian radio podcast. He enjoys music, coffee and hanging out with his family at Jewel Changi Airport.

Vanessa is part of the Partnerships team at Focus on the Family Singapore, and leads the team in fundraising and working with partners. She loves quiet walks at the beach and is recharged by beautiful sunsets.
