Nurturing Marriage in the Early Years of Parenthood

Published on: 7th March, 2024

We often hear the saying, “The best gift that we can give our children is a strong marriage”. How do we prioritise and love our spouse during the roller coaster years of parenthood in the children’s early years?

With the limited time, energy, and countless responsibilities as young parents, can we really thrive in our marriage too?

Joining us in this episode is Joel and Jilleen. They have been married for nine years, and have three young children. Let's dive in as they share their wisdom and insights on how they keep their love for each other burning amidst the busyness of parenting.

About the Podcast

Connect2
Welcome to the Connect2 marriage podcast by Focus on the Family Singapore!

Married life can be filled with twists and turns, especially with the day-to-day priorities, and stresses in life, including the times we run into conflict with our spouse.

No matter the state of your relationship today, we want to help your marriage thrive.

Join us as we figure out life and love together, and go deep into the conversations and questions (often unspoken) about the toughest topics on connection, intimacy and lifelong love.

While there are no perfect marriages, there is always room to grow to be the best spouse we can be. With practical tips, a whole lot of vulnerability and even a dose of humour, we hope that these episodes will provide hope and encouragement for your marriage.
