What this episode covers
There's plenty of conversations that explore the "pitfalls" of marriage and parenthood, often leaving the audience with a negative perspective of both. Some of the clips from this show explore those challenges, and don't provide full context of our personal experiences. Yes, marriage and parenthood require work (plenty of work). Also, we've found the process to be fulfilling and the net assessment is that it's still worth it. #Raisingboysandgirls #FamilyTalk #singleparents #adultchildren #Parenting #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.
