LIFE: The Same in the Ways That Matter

from Wife Life Balance Hosted by Ashlee & Bethany Boyle

Well… it's been a while. We finally found a quiet 28 minutes while our kids were sleeping, turned on the microphones, and talked. No agenda. No perfectly packaged topic. Just us. We talk about what happens when your best friend is right in front of you every day, but somewhere between work, toddlers, bedtime and trying to keep everyone alive, you realize you actually miss them. Then, naturally, we end up discovering (again) just how differently we grew up. One of us made her bed every morning and had porcelain dolls displayed neatly on shelves. The other was outside skinning her knees and occasionally needed to clear a path through her bedroom floor. Somehow, we married each other. We get into cleanliness, routines, parenting, ADHD, why Bethany simultaneously needs structure and wants absolutely nothing to do with it, raising two little humans, sharing clothes, the importance of laughing with your person, and why sometimes you just need to remind each other: same team. We're very different people. But as Ashlee put it, we're the same in the ways that matter, and the rest of it just balances. Welcome back to Wife Life Balance.
