Postpartum & Marriage: What Nobody Prepares You For

Having a baby changes more than your schedule. It changes your marriage, your responsibilities, and the way you connect as a couple.In this episode, Amber joins me for an honest conversation about postpartum, anxiety, depression, marriage after kids, and what we wish we understood when we became parents.We talk about feeling disconnected, the pressure both parents experience, why husbands need to take initiative instead of waiting to be asked, and why keeping score can damage a marriage during an already difficult season.And maybe the biggest lesson we’ve learned: the goal isn’t to get back to the couple you were before the baby. It’s learning how to grow into the couple and family you’re becoming.For husbands: don’t stand on the sidelines waiting for things to “get back to normal.” Step into the season with your wife. Don’t ask who’s doing more. Ask, “How can I take care of you?”Keep showing up.Brotherhood Forged
