#270: Problem Solved: Marriage

We talked about doing the grownup this week, guys. You asked for it and we finally delivered with a Problem Solved: Marriage. Was this uncomfortable? Sure was! Do we KNOW that it will serve you well to hear from other moms struggling well on the topic? One hundred percent! Here are some of the things we were asked.

“I’ve been married forever and I don’t like my spouse anymore, what should I do?” Rebecky has an amazing perspective shift to share on this. 

“How do I handle the wildly different parenting style of my partner?” Emily nailed this one.

“How can I make the grownup more enjoyable? Kate took this one (thank goodness) and it’s quite clever.
