Love your children, and support their activities. However, don't let them dominate your marriage. Remember to prioritize the one you married. #marriageworks
Julian and Shana enthusiastically support their son's baseball and their daughter's art, dedicating weekends to games and shows. Despite their busy schedules, they've set a weekly "date night" every Thursday to maintain their connection, exploring new restaurants or enjoying a quiet walk. If they miss a Thursday, they're serious about going out the following week or changing to another night. This practice not only keeps their marriage strong but also models a balanced relationship for their children. By prioritizing their partnership alongside parenting, they foster a stable and loving family environment, demonstrating the importance of nurturing personal relationships even in the midst of family commitments.
Think about it: How can you balance your enthusiasm and involvement in your children's activities with maintaining and nurturing the intimate connection with your spouse?
What's at stake in your marriage if your children's activities dominate your relationship with your mate?
