I've had conversations with couples who are struggling in their marriage. The root? Their kids. Well, actually, it wasn't their children; it was the fact that the couple was focusing so much on their kids that the marital relationship was almost non-existent. All their conversations revolved around the children. Many couple's date nights even included the kids! They get so busy with all the kids events and caring for them, that their relationship begins to flounder.
Maybe your marriage isn't at that extreme point. But are there times when either you or your spouse could say that the children take precedence to the marriage relationship? Take time for each other! Plan date nights, get away...instead of dropping in front of the TV when the kids go down...sit down over a cup of coffee. Find time to PRAY together! If we don't foster our marital relationship, whether we realize it or not...everyone pays a price! Find time to plan "connection" times with your spouse where its just about the two of you.
