We Thought We'd Lost Our Marriage
24 min
Have you ever looked at your spouse and wondered when you stopped feeling like husband and wife and started feeling like co-parents? What happens when exhaustion, misunderstandings and unmet needs slowly create distance in a marriage? The transition from marriage to parenthood can be one of the most significant shifts a couple will experience. We speak with Richie and Debbie, who share how the joy of welcoming their first child was accompanied by unexpected strain on their relationship. As sleepless nights, changing roles, and mounting responsibilities took over, they found themselves feeling disconnected and caught in recurring cycles of conflict. They reflect on how pride, exhaustion and poor communication created distance in their relationship, and how seeking help through Focus on the Family's Marriage Getaway helped them reconnect. Discover practical insights on communication, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and why asking for help can be a powerful step towards strengthening your marriage. -- " I now have a clear plan to stop the disconnection, reset, and reconnect with my spouse." -Marriage Getaway participant Click www.family.org.sg/MarriageGetaway find out more! -- If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.
