Everyone tells you that having a baby changes everything, but few people honestly talk about what it can do to your marriage.In today's episode, Jordan and I are sitting down for a real, unfiltered conversation about our first year since becoming mom and dad.

Parenthood has been one of God's greatest gifts to us and we love our son to the moon and back! But this season has also stretched us, refined us, and exposed the weak areas in our marriage that we never expected. We're sharing the hard moments, the beautiful parts, and the lessons God has taught us along the way.

Whether you're newly married, expecting your first baby, in the newborn trenches, or simply preparing for the future, our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to pursue each other intentionally while keeping Christ at the center of your marriage… even more so once you are mom and dad.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What surprised us most after becoming parents

• How our relationship changed after bringing home a baby

• The identity shift from husband and wife to mom and dad

• Sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and learning to give each other grace

• Communication challenges during the postpartum season

• How intimacy and emotional connection changed after baby

• The biggest adjustments we weren't prepared for

• Honest moments from our first year of parenthood

• What God has been teaching us through this season

This episode was one that we’ve been meaning to record for a moment, and I’m so glad that we finally did. Remember to lean into each other when you’re navigating the newborn stages, and even past that… because God never intended for us to do this alone. If you’re walking through a similar season, our prayer is that this episode encourages you to cry out to the Father, cling to the hem of His garment, and trust that He is with you in this chapter.
