Marriage Series Part 6: Marriage & Parenting

According to a Focus on the Family article, “the drop in marital satisfaction after the first baby’s birth is a staggering 42% larger among the current generation of parents than their predecessors.”  This combined with a statistic from a Marriage Dynamics article that says, “the divorce rate among couples aged 55-64 has more than double since 1990,” indicates that there are problems in marriages as couples begin to raise children and after they leave the home.  Why are there so many marital problems related to raising children?  Pastor Bryan & Pastor Alan dive into this topic and discuss what it means to keep your marriage a priority as you raise kids.  If you are a parent, you don’t want to miss this episode.
