Help parents maintain friendship and emotional connection while raising children. Workshop exercises: 1) Each spouse names three things they appreciate about the other. 2) Schedule a 30-minute connection time without phones. 3) Discuss one pressure currently affecting the marriage. 4) Choose one small daily act of affection or kindness.
Teach Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 as a picture of partnership. Parenting demands can crowd out the marriage, so connection needs intentional protection.
