  1. I really liked hearing you told your kids that you and your spouse are best friends! That’s a wonderful concept that I would love to imply it in my own family! Thank you so much for sharing this on Christian Marriage and Motherhood on Facebook! Your sister, Sue

  2. When our kids were little, we used to have “mommy/daddy” time. The kids knew they weren’t to interrupt. To this day, they have a healthy respect for our marriage. When mom and dad are good, everybody’s good.

      Absolutely! Our kids need to know we are good so they feel stable. Thank you for stopping by and commenting! God Bless!

  3. I love this! My husband and I don’t have kids yet, and honestly a huge reason is because we aren’t quite ready to give up the time we have with each other. I definitely fear the days when we’ll barely get any alone time once kids come, even though I know we’ll love our kids more than I can comprehend right now! I appreciated this article so much. 🙂

      Children bring a whole new dimension and dynamic to the family! But if the focus remains on your husband than you guys will make it work. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

      Yes, Satan attempts to break down marriages and the family unit. Without that foundation, so many other aspects of life struggle. We have to intentionally fight back. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!
