When You Feel Like You Can’t Be a GOOD WIFE and a GOOD MOM at the SAME TIME

I know some of you are agreeing with me here, but you don’t see a way to do this without neglecting your kids or failing to complete the many tasks you have on your plate.  I get it.  There are only so many hours in the day.  But, friends, the truth is, we always make time for what is most important to us.  We make assumptions about things that aren’t as important.

Ouch!  I know.  I feel the sting too.  It’s a hard truth to swallow, but I’ve seen this play out too many times.  If we don’t make time with our husband a priority, then our kids, and everything else, will automatically take that time.  

It’s good for our children to see their parents strive so hard to spend time with each other.  They are learning how marriage is supposed to work.  If we never go on a date or put the kids to bed early to have “mommy and daddy time,”  then we are basically showing our children that they are the center of our universe and the marriage just really isn’t that important.  But, when they see us investing in our marriage relationship, our children will place a high value on marriage too.  This is one of the greatest gifts we can offer them as a parent.
