Summary
So you read the parenting articles, brushed-up on the books, and did the research to approach a parenting issue intentionally. But, your plans quickly seemed to flop when you realized you were on a totally different page than your husband. How can mom be proactive and make a plan, while honoring, respecting, involving, and coming alongside her husband too? In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the easy miscommunication traps we can fall into as parents, and share ideas for getting back on the same team. Mom and dad have the same ultimate goal: to pass along the gospel to the next generation, training up their children in the Lord.

| 0:48.4 | I just wanted to let you all know that Lauren, I have been talking a lot about the pregnancy that |
| 0:53.8 | she's having, a paper pregnancy because... Yes, I'm adopting. It's kind of funny. We were chatting and |
