Marriage after kids :: Mentor Series Wk 1 [Ep 580]

Motherhood changes everything—including your marriage.

In this first episode of my summor of mentorship series, I'm sharing the conversation I wish someone had invited me into years ago. If we were sitting across from each other with a cup of coffee, these are the things I'd want every mom to know.

Parenting is one of the greatest blessings, but it can also become one of the biggest stress tests on a marriage. The shift from dating and dreaming together to managing schedules, diapers, sports, meals, and endless logistics can leave even the healthiest couples feeling disconnected.

The good news? You're not alone, and your marriage doesn't have to become another casualty of the busy parenting years.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why parenting often creates tension in marriage—and why that's completely normal.

How different parenting styles can actually become one of your family's greatest strengths.

The danger of keeping score and how resentment quietly grows.

Practical communication habits that help couples stay connected.

A simple weekly marriage check-in you can start this Sunday.

The power of praying together, especially when parenting feels overwhelming.

How small daily habits shape a strong marriage over time.
