333. How To Keep Your Marriage Strong When Life Gets Busy As A Working Mom

Hi Mamas, 

In this special episode celebrating 25 years with my husband, Russ, I'm sharing our unexpected love story, the surprising way God brought us together, and the simple habits that have helped us stay connected through careers, raising three kids, work stress, college applications, and all the beautiful chaos of family life. 

If you've ever felt like you and your spouse spend more time managing schedules than actually enjoying each other, this episode is for you. 

You'll hear the story of how one housing assignment that felt like a huge disappointment completely changed the course of my life, plus the practical things we've intentionally done over the last twenty-five years to keep our marriage a priority—even during our busiest seasons. 

Because strong marriages aren't built by finding more time... 

They're built by intentionally protecting the time you already have. 

In This Episode We Cover: 

• Why busy couples slowly lose connection  

• The difference between communicating and truly connecting  

• Our unexpected college love story and how God changed my plans  

• Why date nights aren't enough  

• How to reconnect in everyday moments  

• The importance of protecting your marriage from work  

• How love languages transformed our relationship  

• Why appreciation matters more than grand gestures  

• Practical ways to strengthen your marriage during busy seasons  

• Trusting God's plan when life doesn't go the way you expected
