About
In this episode, Put “It” On the Calendar: How to Keep the Fire Hot When You’re Married with Kids, we talk about the reality of maintaining intimacy once life gets busy with marriage, parenting, and responsibility.
We discuss why waiting for the “right moment” doesn’t work and how being intentional — even scheduling intimacy — can help keep the connection strong between spouses. From there, the conversation expands into merging different parenting styles, learning how to operate as a unified front, and how fatherhood today looks very different from what we grew up seeing.
This episode is an honest look at love, partnership, and parenting — and the intentional effort it takes to keep the spark alive while raising a family.
