15: How Do You Prioritize Being a Good Spouse AND a Good Parent at the Same Time? (Living Life in the Middle)

Today we have a talk about what it means to take a "middle ground" approach to life. We talk about finding balance between too extremes and how this can relate to our marriages and our parenting. We then get into some practical tips on how to do both, parenting and marriage, well. (At the same time.) We firmly believe these two things do not have to be at odds with each other. How can we combine them and work at them both simultaneously?

13: Becoming A Family Unit: Uniting on Priorities

We are wrapping up our mini-series today by talking all about our priorities. The way we spend our time can tell us a lot about our priorities. What do we do when we are divided on finances, parenting, sex, work/life balance, time with friends, hobbies or extended family? Division can happen when we disagree on how to prioritize these different areas of our life. Today we are going to discuss how to become a unified front and get on the same page with some of the biggest challenges in marriage.

12: Becoming A Family Unit: Boundaries with In-Laws

Today we take a deeper look at boundaries! Most people don't see boundaries as a spiritual topic, but we are taking a look at where we see boundaries in scripture. We get into how to figure out when to say yes and when to say no. We talk about when we may have a boundary problem with our family and also talk about practical ways to set them.
