Summary

Do you fall short in the same ways we do when loving your kiddos, spouse and self well? Over here we don’t only talk about the things that are going perfectly in our homes. In fact, we share ways in which we fail pretty routinely in this one. We are thankful that the Strugg’s wrote in with such practical tips for Loving WELL and yep, we sure do talk about sex in this one. Oh, and screen time. It’s killing us softly.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:
  • Loving kids well by setting boundaries and sticking to them
  • Ways we are taking care of ourselves so we have margin to love others
  • A Strugg’s awesome advice: Connect before correct
  • Advocating for our kids 
  • Matching your teens conflict style to see if it deescalates interactions
  • Using code words or colors to describe feelings
  • Perspective shift on intimacy vs duty and one on screen time too
  • Love language quiz 
  • One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
  • Movies: Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Get Back, Yellowjackets, Unforgivable 
  • KS: No margin, can’t keep up with kids hygiene, solo parenting realizations
  • GL: Walking inside to get steps in during the winter, focusing on giving thanks in prayer
