#294: Loving WELL

1 hour 7 minutes

Do you fall short in the same ways we do when loving your kiddos, spouse and self well? Over here we don’t only talk about the things that are going perfectly in our homes. In fact, we share ways in which we fail pretty routinely in this one. We are thankful that the Strugg’s wrote in with such practical tips for Loving WELL and yep, we sure do talk about sex in this one. Oh, and screen time. It’s killing us softly.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

Loving kids well by setting boundaries and sticking to them

Ways we are taking care of ourselves so we have margin to love others

A Strugg’s awesome advice: Connect before correct

Advocating for our kids

Matching your teens conflict style to see if it deescalates interactions

Using code words or colors to describe feelings

Perspective shift on intimacy vs duty and one on screen time too

Love language quiz
