I Feel Like a Single Parent Again

Football season is officially here—and with it comes practices, scrimmages, games, school schedules, homework, dinner, bedtime, and a whole lot of doing things without your coach beside you.And sometimes, you just feel like a single parent.In this episode of Fourth Quarter Marriage, we’re talking honestly about what it feels like to carry more during football season—and the resentment that can creep in when “I’m overwhelmed” starts turning into “I’m doing everything myself.”But we’re not staying there.Because football season can be hard without being bad. We can miss our husbands and still be proud of them. We can need more support without keeping score. We can acknowledge the loneliness without letting it define our marriage.We’ll talk about finding the good in the middle of the crazy, inviting God into the gaps our husbands can’t always fill, and one simple marriage playbook that can help you stay connected when time is in short supply.Because feeling like a single parent doesn’t mean you have to become a single-parent marriage.We’re carrying more right now—but we’re still on the same team.
