Summary

Do you feel like a team with your spouse in parenting or do you often turn on each other? Do you have different ideas about what is right for your kids? Have the teen years brought more conflict than unity?

Today Dr. Kim Kimberling, professional counselor and founder of Awesome Marriage, is here to share his years of wisdom on how to keep the marriage strong while parenting. Dr. Kim has been married to his wife for 53 years and the tips that flow from those years of experience are priceless.

He shares how to build in some one-on-one time, stay on the same page in the teen years, and how praying together allows the Holy Spirit to breathe creativity into your parenting. Dr. Kim also comforts those whose spouse may not currently be walking with the Lord and how to navigate that hard season. He reminds us that you can’t put your marriage on the back burner for years and expect it to be the same when your kids are gone and gives us tools to make sure we are making our partner a priority. Be sure to check out his website that is full of resources.

0:00.0	Hey y'all welcome back to the don't mamam alone podcast. I'm your host Heather Mcphadion and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone and in this episode number 491 I'm welcoming to the show Dr. Kimberling.
0:25.0	One of the examples I like to use is if usually a lot of times couples I see in
0:30.2	counseling there's the problem and they're

1:25.2	to work together parenting our kids and so we're going to talk through that one
1:30.8	thing that happened that I get so mad at myself when this happens and so I'm just going to tell you
1:35.6	After I hit stop on the recording

1:44.1	his over 40 years of counseling he has seen a noticeable uptick in individuals
1:50.6	coming into counseling with diagnosed narcissism.
1:54.8	And his view wasn't that these were wrongly diagnosed cases.
