Strengthening the foundation of our families with Arlene Pellicane

The Christian Parenting Podcast - Motherhood, Teaching kids about Jesus, Intentional parenting, Raising Christian kids

While parenting, working, and the whirlwind of daily life, it's easy for marriage—the very foundation of our family life—to slide to the back burner. But our marriages are critical and so today's episode is dedicated to nurturing this foundational relationship.

I am thrilled to be joined by Arlene Pellicane, a renowned marriage and family speaker, host of the Happy Home Podcast, and author of books like 31 Days to a Happy Husband and "31 Days to Becoming a Happy Wife.

Arlene and I discuss why fewer young adults choose marriage over living together and the significance of long-term thinking in nurturing marital bonds that survive and thrive. Here's what we cover:

- The Changing State of Marriage: Exploring the shifts in how young adults view marriage and cohabitation.

- The Importance of Long-Term Thinking: We discuss making decisions that will benefit our marriages in the long haul, beyond the immediate moments of joy or challenge.

- Modeling a Healthy Marriage: Parents’ critical role is demonstrating what a loving, committed relationship looks like to their children.

- Practical Tips for Busy Parents: Arlene shares invaluable advice on strengthening your marriage amidst the chaos of parenting, including the importance of daily connections, weekly dates, and regular getaways.

Arlene's insights are incredibly helpful for couples seeking to deepen their connection and ensure their marriage remains a source of joy, strength, and stability in their family life. Her practical tips offer actionable steps that busy parents can take to reconnect, rejuvenate, and reaffirm their commitment to each other.

Our conversation is a gentle reminder that while parenting is an all-consuming role, the health of our marriage significantly impacts our family's well-being. Arlene's guidance provides a roadmap for couples to navigate the complexities of modern marriage with grace, intention, and a lot of love!
