What does it take to hold up a mirror to a husband in such a way that he can process the reflection of who he is and how he shows up? How can a wife withstand the storm of initial resistance? Libby and her husband, Steve, share their story of how Libby told Steve he had Asperger’s and offer hope-filled tips on withstanding the storm. Be encouraged!

A wife in neurodiversity, married to a mindblind husband (who masks well in public), feels hard-pressed to find others who REALLY understand a neurodiverse marriage. Today, we will walk in the shoes of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and press in to learn her secret to abundant joy, in the midst of being unbelieved and persecuted within the cultural mind-blindness of her day. Be encouraged this Christmas season that not only Mary, but also our Saviour, Jesus, really understands being misunderstood and unbelieved. This episode’s activation is user-friendly and hope-filled, to center your thoughts this holiday season.
