Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

EPS 341: Exploring our Intimate Partnerships with Marriage Helper Kimberly Holmes


Listen Later

My guest today is Kimberly Holmes. 

 

Kimberly and Casey talk about their family backgrounds and what common challenges long-term, committed couples are facing. They discuss couples therapy and intentionally supporting both spouses & a safe environment during Marriage Helpers workshops. Casey and Kimberly talk similarities and differences between problem solving, using curiosity questions, and compromising with a teen versus with a spouse. Kimberly shares advice on how to listen to and take feedback from a partner and tips on how parents can find common ground when it comes to their teens. Casey and Kimberly wrap up digging into the importance of consistency, relationships ending, and the challenges of co-parenting.

 

Takeaways:

  • How do the teen years affect your partnership with your spouse? 
  • Pushing or pulling out of a marriage
  • How do you show up in your relationship?
  • Genuinely asking your spouse questions with curiosity 
  • Receiving feedback from a spouse without getting defensive 
  • Finding common ground, empathy, & being teammates with your spouse 
  • Do parents need to have the same parenting style? 
  • Can every marriage be saved? When is it time to call it quits? 
  • Having peace in your decisions  
  • Co-parenting challenges, disappointments, & tips
