Why is it important to give our spouse a break?

In this episode of the Home and Marriage Podcast, we discuss the importance of giving each other space in a marriage and a couple of great ways to do this is through pursuing personal interests (or hobbies) and friendships.

Every home has a tone, and your words are one of the greatest tools God has given you to shape it.

Hey we've all been there and said the wrong things while parenting! But there's hope as always so in this episode we want to encourage you that your words and the tone matters.

We share personal stories of how words from our parents shaped us and how we hope to make our words count with our children.

We break down four essential types of communication every parent needs: words of affection and encouragement, loving and healthy correction, celebrating character over accomplishments, and intentionally speaking about God’s love. This conversation is a reminder that when our words are balanced with truth, grace, and love, they can build confidence, faith, and strong character in our children.

Thank you for listening!
