Kids or Marriage, Who Comes First?

Kids or Marriage, Who Comes First?

Is it possible to prioritize your marriage without sacrificing your children's needs? Robert and Sharla believe so, and in this episode, they're demonstrating exactly how you can put your children's needs first while also prioritizing your marriage.


There's a biological maternal imperative that kicks in when a child is born. Left to linger for too long (consider a child sleeping in the parent's bed as an example), it can cause resentment. The spouse may find themselves way down the family pecking order over time, prioritized even after the family pet!

And while the statistics on marital satisfaction post childbirth don't make for pretty reading, Robert and Sharla succinctly offer solutions on making transitions through parenthood with far less stress by remaining steadfast in your commitment to your marriage. What does this look like, exactly?

Tune in to find out just how you can model a healthy marriage to your children, setting them up for eventual relationship success themselves one day, with 'The Magic Six-Hour Week' and other tools that foster marital intimacy without compromising your parental responsibilities.

"It's crucial for children to experience and witness the love of their parents and the love that they have for one another, not just the love that their parents have for them." ~ Sharla Snow
