FamilyLife Today® - When Being Married Feels Like Roommates...With Kids: Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler

About this episode

Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler discuss the challenges of maintaining connection in marriage after having children.

Marriage didn’t get easier when the kids came; it got louder, tighter, and easier to miss each other. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, authors of Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, meet you there in survival-mode advice with honest, lived-in perspective. From overstimulation to quiet resentment, they name what’s real—and point toward a better way to stay on the same team when connection feels out of reach.
