If you can relate to this, you’re not alone. This is why in this episode, we will be addressing 5 possible reasons why your spouse may be avoiding having meaningful conversations with you and what to do about them.
So, get ready..set...tune in to listen to find out more!
We pray this episode blesses you:)

Hi friend!
Have you ever been stressed, struggled to concentrate… been less patient with your spouse and your kids? Are you feeling tense, frustrated, and upset at things that would normally not make you feel upset? Then, you may need a particular kind of care: Self-Care.
As a couple, and especially parents living abroad, when our schedules are filled up with activities or things to do, the to-do-list continues to increase and there seems to be so much demand for our time and attention, especially in these modern times…with all of these going on, it is so easy to forget to do something: to take care of yourself. But what can happen when this is ignored?
In this episode, you will discover the importance of self-care in building a connected marriage and peaceful home; how engaging in a simple self-care routine can benefit your marriage even if you’re busy parents, and some practical tips for starting a simple self-care routine that works for you during this season of your life.
We pray this episode blesses you.
