Sadie Robertson and Christian Huff Overcame ‘Deep’ Times in Their Marriage Through Therapy

Transcript

00:00How do you feel like the two of you overcome hardships and struggles in your marriage and

00:04how do you work together and how have you found that balance or are you continuing to find that

00:08balance? Yes, that's a great question. Even when you asked me about anxiety, someone asked me about

00:14this the other day about anxiety and I said, you know, the postpartum anxiety with honey was such

00:18a shock and I really meant that because it had been so long since I had struggled and I really

00:22attribute that a lot to our marriage. When we got married, Christian became a true like partner in

00:28life with me and a best friend and like he dove into my struggle and understanding it. Like I

00:35remember I went to this anxiety doctor and like he came with me and learned all the tips and tricks

00:39and like helped me overcome that and you helped me too during my postpartum. Once I opened up to you

00:45about it, I was a little bit private about that at first, which I think so many people do when they

00:50struggle with any form of mental illness. You go private, but man, so much freedom and being known

00:55in that area and having accountability. And so Christian, I attribute so much to overcoming

01:01that hard aspect of our life to our relationship. And since we've gotten married, we've been through

01:06some hard things together, you know, becoming parents and things we walk through with our

01:10children, even at a young age, when it comes to health things that we've kept a little more private.

01:15But, um, it's been some, some definitely deep, deep times in our marriage that have definitely

01:21bonded us. And so it's funny in some ways, five and a half years feels long and in some

01:25ways it feels really short and, you know, um, but yeah, I've definitely feel like we've

01:29been a team and all the hardship.

01:31That's good. Yeah.

01:32Yeah. I mean, it's really just communication, you know, statistically most marriages end because

01:38all people go through difficult things. It's just, you have to have the vulnerability to discuss

01:43them. And like I said, statistically, statistically most marriages end because people go through hard

01:48things and they don't voice them to each other. They don't, yeah, they don't have those deep

01:52conversations in this, you know, conversations of what you're struggling with. And I think

01:56in marriage, it's so beautiful because you do get to voice those things. If you, you know,

02:01go through things individually and you don't ever talk about them, then it's just, you can't

02:05really speak into it. So for us, it's just constant communication. Um, we're also big fans

02:10of counseling. You just know the counselor last week.

02:14We've had a counselor since our premarital stuff and she's stuck with us ever since.

02:18And sometimes we talk to her more than others. Um, but even before stepping into the show,

02:23she just came in town and met with us and just kind of got our hearts together before

02:28we step into the show. So we are always a fan to admit that it's good to have a little,

02:34little taglines. Like never, it's never say never always, which means I never, you know,

02:39I would, I don't say you never do this or you always do this. So a little subtle things

02:43like that, little phrases, but just being in a place where we can, um, have those conversations

02:49of things we're wrestling with and, uh, yeah, do it together and not try to do it apart.
