The result is an oppressive cycle of stress.  In this episode of the WifeSavers Podcast, So Tired and Going Crazy: 4 Steps to Less Stress and More Peace, multi-award-winning author and global marriage educator, Ramona Zabriskie, and her husband of 40+ years, Dale, discuss their approach to reclaiming sanity: staying even-keeled, loving, and productive in spite of worldly or family demands, chaos, or troubles.  THROW ME A WIFESAVER: “I feel anxious and I see so much that needs to be done in every area: my physical health, my marriage, my family, my house and yard, myself… I have a vision of what life can be, not perfect but more peaceful, joyful, calm… I just feel like I need time to myself to think, work, pray, exercise, create order in our home.
