Relationships always require a lot of time and energy in order to be successful. This becomes extremely challenging once a couple has children because all the focus is directed towards them. It sometimes seems impossible to create balance between your relationship with your partner and time spent with the children. Dr. Daryl Johnson joins me on this episode to teach us how to do just that.
