In today's episode of the Now That We're a Family Podcast, Katie and I are going to talk from a really current state in our marriage and that is having experienced being away from each other for five days now we've realized how we like

being we like each other we like each other we like being with each other a lot

but it's actually fun timing because prior to Katie leaving for a few days she listened to this Ted talk about a relationship coach that talks about long-term relationships and what it actually takes to keep romance and desire alive in long-term relationships.

And it's funny because the principles that she had talked about, I feel like are really happening in our life right now,

and we're seeing them firsthand.

And so we're going to talk about those and talk about what we've learned from being apart

from each other and we've learned that space can actually increase desire.

So stay tuned.

Hey, I'm Elisha of Oburg.

And I'm his wife Katie.

Katie and I both grew up in families that were fun, impactful, and relationship rich.

Now that we're a family of our own with three young children under the age of three

or eager to see what God can do through the family unit.

We're so excited that you're joining us on this podcast as we dive into what the Bible says

about marriage, children, parenting, money, sex, careers, roles, and so much more.

Yes and I say that because this week was kind of a tough week for whatever reason. I received quite a few comments that just kind of made me unsure about whether we should be sharing our lives publicly or as publicly as we are I think a lot of them took me off guard and so

we along with you know those few negative or critical comments that I got. We received so many positive reviews and so many kind messages on Instagram and I cannot tell you how much that soothed my soul and I am even at this moment you know

working through the critiques that I've received this week and just and

thinking on how we can do stuff better,

Elishu and I, but you guys,
