Marriage vs. Kids: Getting the PRIORITY Right

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of prioritizing your spouse over children and clarifies what it means to put your marriage first.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This post BLEW UP! A couple weeks ago, we made a post on IG about prioritizing your spouse over every other relationship.... including your kids. Aaaaand it got some pushback. In this episode, we unpack the tension around prioritizing your spouse and bring clarity to what “putting your marriage first” actually means (hint: it’s not about neglecting your kids). If you’ve ever felt like your spouse gets the leftovers or you’re stuck in survival mode, this is your reset moment.
