    Episode 194- Family and Community in the Newborn Season

    Parenthood was never meant to be happen in isolation. But, what do you do when "help" isn't helpful? And how do you know if it's them or you? In the 3rd episode of the "marriage in the newborn season" series, we discuss how to invite community into your marriage, establish healthy boundaries with family, ask for help without shame, and raise your children alongside others. Discussion Questions - Why is it difficult to ask for help? - What practical help would bless us most during this season? - What boundaries do we want to establish with parents, in-laws, and visitors? Is there anything unfair in our boundaries? - How can we stay connected to our church and life group instead of isolating ourselves? - Who are the trusted people we want speaking into our marriage and parenting? - Are we receiving help with humility—or expecting it with entitlement? How can we practice gratitude?

    Episode 187- Keeping Marriage Healthy while Traveling for Work

    When one spouse travels regularly for work, it puts unique pressure on a marriage. From loneliness and temptation to resentment and drift, there are lots of potential issues it can create. In this episode, Derek, Gabrielle, and Scott Kedersha get honest about what it really takes to keep a marriage thriving when work keeps pulling you apart. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - If one of you travels regularly for work, how well have you built communication rhythms that actually work for both of you — not just the one traveling? - Scott talked about picking up the phone even when he'd rather not. Where in your marriage right now are you letting your own preference win over what your spouse needs? - What temptations are most likely to come up for you specifically when you're isolated — and have you named those out loud to anyone? - Scott said distance will exasperate any existing unhealth in a marriage, not heal it. Before taking or keeping a job that requires heavy travel, how honest are you being about the current state of your marriage? - If you are the spouse who stays home: does your traveling spouse know specifically what would help you feel most supported before they leave and while they're gone? - When your spouse returns from a trip, what does re-entry look like in your home — and is there anything you could do to make that transition healthier? - Scott gave a shout-out to Kristen for holding things down at home. When did you last genuinely thank your spouse for their specific role in your marriage — whether they travel or stay home?
