Hey friend, thanks for joining me today. I'm Julie Slattery and you're listening to Java with Julie.

This podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Leslie Parrott and Linda Dillow, and we're going to talk about what happens when a husband and wife have separate but equally important callings and they feel like they're being pulled in different directions. Who should yield? And when you add children to the equation, who pushes pause on their career? Is there a calling that's more important than a person's marriage? These are

questions that couples need to be able to talk about, perhaps even more so than we did just a few

generations ago. Linda and Leslie are going to help me flesh out some scriptural principles

that you can use as a guide to help you navigate these conversations with your spouse and learn

how to take turns over the years and give each other the time and space to realize your callings.

Before you get started, let me ask you, have you become an authentic intimacy member yet?

For just $8 a month or $88 a year, you'll get the access to our entire job with Julie

archive, like the conversations you're going to hear today. We have over 200 episodes of

rich conversation and bold truth in our archives. And you also have access each month to our

We'd love to have you be a member and find out more at authentic intimacy.com slash member.

Now let's head to the coffee shop.

Hey, welcome to Java with Julie and we are again having Java and tea and all kinds of

yummy stuff here at Wisdom Tea House in Monument, Colorado.
