There are ups and downs in every marriage. Whether it's stress from work, not enough time for fun, parenting disagreements, poor communication, moody bickering, grieving a loss, or bigger problems like infidelity, there is no such thing as a "perfect" marriage.

However, parents and caregivers of children with disabilities have a unique set of challenges in many arenas, not excluding their love lives.

In this episode of our Parenting Impossible podcast, Annette Hines is joined by her favorite podcast guest, her husband and law partner Mark Worthington.

Through raising and losing a special needs child together, trying out couples' counseling, starting new businesses, becoming empty nesters, raising a puppy, and everything in between, Annette and Mark have learned quite a lot over the years about their relationship dynamic and how to love each other well in the midst of all of life's craziness.

Annette Hines has been practicing in the areas of Special Needs, Elder Law, and Estate Planning for more than 20 years. Ms. Hines brings personal experience with special needs to her practice and podcasts as the mother of two daughters, one of whom passed away from Mitochondrial disease in November 2013. This deep, personal understanding of special needs fuels her passion for quality special needs planning and drives her dedication to help others within the special needs community.
