Moms, be honest…how’s your relationship going?
In today’s MomCast, we’re steping back from the day-to-day of mom life and dive into something just as important (if not more!): our marriages. We spend so much energy on parenting that our partnerships can easily slip to the bottom of the priority list.

Our guest is Jocelyn Freeman, one half of the marriage-psychologist duo behind Meet the Freemans. Jocelyn and her husband, Aaron, coach couples around the world and are known for breaking down real-life relationship scenarios on Instagram. Jocelyn got us very clear on what actually strengthens a marriage and the work it takes for that to happen.
We learn some incredibly practical, eye-opening tools to get us started, plus:

* how holding a weekly family meeting can keep you and your partner aligned on needs, feelings, and expectations

* what a “love deposit” is and why building a surplus creates relationship security

* whether it’s ever okay to go to bed angry (the answer may surprise you)

* why commiserating about our marriage can often turn into complaining…and something much more harmful

* why mentioning divorce during conflict shuts down important conversations and keeps couples from resolving the real issues
