What happens when you love your spouse, love your kids… but somewhere along the way your marriage starts feeling more like a partnership for managing life than an actual marriage?
In this episode of House of Roberts, we’re answering questions from you — starting with one we think a lot of couples experience after having kids: How do you keep from becoming roommates?
We talk about why good things can still get out of order, how easily a marriage can become kid-centered, why continuing to date each other matters, and some of the simple rhythms we use to stay connected even when life is busy or money is tight.
We also talk about something our kids are learning every time they watch our marriage: what it looks like for a husband and wife to actually enjoy, prioritize, pursue, and make room for one another.
Then we tackle another big question: How do you stay faith-filled when you're walking through a hard season?
Sometimes the answer isn't another five-step plan. Sometimes it's doing what you already know to do when you don't know what else to do — getting in the Word, praying, keeping your head, enduring, refusing isolation, and surrounding yourself with people who will truly pray for you.
We also talk about:
• Why your spouse should still come before your kids
• Simple ways to keep dating when life is full
• Why your schedule reveals what you actually value
• Talking to your spouse instead of expecting them to read your mind
• The marriage your kids are learning by watching you
• Why feelings sometimes follow faithfulness
• How to keep your head in difficult seasons
• Why hard seasons don't get the final word
• The power of having real intercessors praying for you
• Why isolation gives the enemy room to work
If your marriage has felt disconnected lately, you're walking through something difficult, or you simply need some encouragement to keep going, this conversation is for you.
Welcome to our loud, crazy Christian home. We hope it encourages, equips, and inspires yours.
