Sometimes we get so caught up in the tasks and responsibilities of parenting that we neglect our marriage and our spouse. But what many of us don’t realize is, we can invest in our marriage through parenting, by loving our spouse as they parent. We can look at this like an opportunity instead of viewing parenting as something that takes away from our marriage.
Children are blessings and God didn’t design them to distract you from your marriage, the family unit is God’s good design and we can all grow in love as we do family life together. One key to that is loving and appreciating the role our spouse plays a mother or father.
In today’s episode Dr. Kim & Christina discuss how to love your spouse in their parenting role. Tune in to learn more!
