Together they have raised three grown children, and are enjoying this season of parenthood and marriage.

Mentioned in this episode:

Kindred Mom February Series on Loving Well as a Wife and Mom including an essay by Jennifer Van Winkle on intimacy titled Go Get Him, Tiger.

“I didn’t think twice about skimping by with occasional time together. My marriage seemed great, and we were happy together. I followed the advice given by the monsters in my head, but I struggled because although my marriage was fine, it was bland. Deep within, I wanted romance and a connection with my spouse that rivaled all love stories ever told. We didn’t have that because I was too afraid to show up as an equal in my marriage.”

Special thanks to the following women for sharing their wisdom about investing in marriage:

Mentioned in this episode:

Kindred Mom February Series on **Loving Well as a Wife and Mom** including the first installment of the series, **Invitation to Love:**
“You may have a laundry list of things you want to accomplish in a day, and frayed nerves from having your attention pulled in a dozen directions. You may be attempting to balance dreams that make you feel alive with the humble reality of all that is required to tend a household and the people in it. Perhaps you feel like there is not enough of you to go around, that you can’t possibly do everything well–at least not all the time. The reality is–you, with your cold coffee in hand and lego creations underfoot, already have exactly what it takes to love your family well without so much striving.”
