Episode 108: Setting Expectations in Your Relationship as New Parents: Interview with Damon and KaToya Sumner


Listen Later

Thank you so much for listening, in this episode we discuss setting expectations with your partner when you have a newborn. And I had the pleasure of speaking with Damon and KaToya Sumner about this topic. They describe themselves as, “a couple who’ve been married for fourteen years who desire to laugh and share our experiences with others. Their aim is to empower marrieds to enjoy marriage one convo at a time!”

In today’s episode we are discussed: 

  • Setting expectations in your relationship when expecting a new baby
  • Intentionally working on your relationship when you have an infant
  • Tactics that parents can take to “fight for each other” during the often stressful season of becoming new parents
  • Handling moments when you disagree on how to parent in a specific situation
  • What to do when you reach an impasse with your partner
    • reminding each other than you’re on the same team when you are in conflict
    • Take a pause
    • Listening to each other and letting the other person know that you hear them
    • Giving yourself grace and a break
