Marriage, Love and Kids–Balancing Relationships | E24

Marriage really goes through phases. Some seasons feel easy, and some feel like survival mode—especially once kids come into the picture. From newborn nights to school drop-offs, it shifts how you love, how you argue, and how you find your way back to each other.Today, we’re sharing our own experiences—what helped, what didn’t, and how we’re still figuring it out. It’s not about having the answers. It’s about being honest about what marriage looks like after kids, and how we’re choosing each other through every season. Parenthood transforms marriage—the identity shifts, the joy, the resentment, the stability, and the surprising ways love evolves. Research shows that about 67% of couples see a significant drop in relationship satisfaction after their first child. But stats don’t tell the whole story. They don’t capture the stillness, the stability, or the moments that make you fall in love all over again.Today, we’re diving into the good, the bad, and the messy truth of marriage after kids—and what it takes to keep going through different seasons of parenthood.You can find more episodes of Chocolate & Spice: Two Brown Women Talk wherever you get your podcasts—Spotify, Apple, YouTube Podcasts, and more.
