FAMILY

I love my husband and our three kids, and I work every day to keep our marriage first. I share simple, practical tips for marriage and parenting balance: set clear boundaries, make couple time a non‑negotiable (weekly date night helps), keep communication kind, and treat parenting like teamwork. Use routines, shared values, and faith to lower stress, protect sleep, and make space for romance, intimacy, and respect. These steps build unity, better conflict resolution, and a stronger connection so your relationship stays steady even with kids in the picture.

I started putting my phone away during dinner and after a week I realized something simple: we talked more. Making device-free zones, phone-free evenings, and little digital detox rituals brought back intimacy, presence, and real connection with my husband. Without screens and distractions, our date nights felt fresher, our trust and communication grew, and small daily rituals turned into deeper moments of love and mindfulness.

I love holiday traditions, but I also guard my marriage. When extended family, in-laws, kids, and old customs all show up at once, I rely on simple tools: clear priorities, gentle boundaries, honest communication, planning, and a little compromise. Those steps help me cut stress, protect our spouse-first promise, enjoy family rituals, manage expectations and travel, and keep peace during busy celebrations.
