Marriage is a living thing. Early on in our relationships, we shower our partners with love and attention (obviously, we want them to want to marry us!) Yet once kids enter the scene, it's not uncommon for partners to begin living parallel lives, with passion and deep connection unintentionally falling by the wayside (hello sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and packed schedules!).
In today's episode, we sat down for part two of our compelling conversation with expert Dr. Molly Millwood to unpack just how everyone - parents included - long for a sense of attachment.
When we reach out to our partners, we want to know that they'll be there.
We want answers to the questions: Will you be there for me? Can I count on you? Do you have my back? Do I still matter to you?
If you've ever wondered the answer to those questions, dreamed of rekindling the connection you had pre-kids, or are looking to establish some technology-free ways to connect with your partner, this episode is one you won't want to miss.
Molly breaks down the ways in which we can approach sex, intimacy, emotional attunement, while also challenging ourselves to manage our expectations based upon the season of life your relationship is in.
Join us for part two of this important conversation to ensure you're properly investing in your marriage, knowing what it is you're fighting for, and creating small, shared experiences with your partner to ensure you're set up for a joy-filled, healthy marriage to last the long haul.
