In this episode of the Powerfully Imperfect Podcast, the hosts tackle the controversial topic of why children alone are not sufficient to maintain a strong, bonded marriage. Discussing their own experiences in a blended family with five children, they emphasize the importance of prioritizing the marital relationship over child-rearing. They explain how children will eventually leave, making the marital bond the cornerstone of a stable family.
