Summary

This is the show you’ve been waiting for! This week, my husband Dan joins me on the show for an original interview—the first male guest we’ve ever had on Girlfriends. Dan takes readers’ questions from Instagram, discussing pregnant women, complementarity between the sexes, and even foul language. And then Dan tackles the same topic we discussed last week from my point of view—discipline. Dan shares some of his ideas about the importance of setting and enforcing rules as parents, but also talks about establishing a “family culture” that will form your kids and serve them well, even when they leave home. For the full shownotes, including a list of my upocoming events, check out this episode at ascensionpress.com/girlfriends

It's my husband, Dan, that people have been asking for a while to have

Dan on the podcast and going way back. Honestly, it's probably been like a year and a half that he first

agreed to come on the podcast and then came up with every excuse in the book to not come on.

those things and so we did talk about that we talked about other things we ended up talking about

taking care of pregnant wives and differences between men and women and respect and marriage and a lot of other topics.
