Challenges in Family Unity

I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed right now with everything that's happening at home. My wife and I have been arguing more than usual about our two teenagers and how to handle their recent struggles with school and friendships. It feels like there’s been a wall slowly building between us. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time we felt like a team instead of just co-existing in the same space. On top of that, my parents are getting older, and I find myself in this weird spot where I need to step up for them while also trying to be there for my own kids. It’s such a juggling act, and sometimes it feels like I’m dropping all the balls. I fear the toll this is taking on my marriage—I'm worried that the stress is putting a strain on our relationship. Could you all pray for guidance for us? We really need to find a way back to each other as partners and also create a united front for the kids. I just want our home to feel peaceful again. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve lost sight of how to make that happen. Thank you for lifting us up, it really means a lot.
