Do you ever feel like a third wheel in your marriage, after the birth of your children? You are not alone. In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell explores the common phenomenon where fathers, sometimes mothers, struggle with the change in relationship dynamics that occur when parental responsibilities take center stage; she sheds light on how to navigate these challenging times with grace and leadership.

Emphasizing the importance of communication, self-awareness, and leadership in maintaining a strong marital connection amidst the demands of parenting, Dr. Alexandra advises on the steps to take to support your spouse while also ensuring your own needs are met. She provides strategies for creating emotional and physical intimacy, even when life's demands seem overwhelming. 

Tips in this episode:
  • Understand that feeling like a third wheel after the birth of children is a common phase. It's essential to address the dynamic, rather than ignoring it.

  • Engage in meaningful conversations with your spouse about how to sustain and deepen your marital connection amidst the demands of parenting young children.
