Summary

Why does marriage feel so hard in the little years? After pouring your energy and brain power out for your kiddos, it's easy to offer your spouse the leftovers. In this episode, Emily and Laura invite some very special guests on the show to talk about marriage with little ones: their husbands, Brad Jensen and Mike Wifler! Dates may look different, conversations may constantly be interrupted, and serving one another may look mundane, but the gospel can breathe new life into marriage. The gospel story reminds us of God's faithfulness as he works in our hearts—and the joy of partnering with others in the process.

We're grateful to Crossway for making this week's show possible. Consider grabbing a copy of Jen Wilkin's Women of the Word to learn how to study God's word with your heart and mind.

worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel to be repeated

over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether you're sipping cold coffee
