Episode 42 — How We Keep Our Marriage Off the Backburner

In this episode of The Duncan & Deanna Show, we talk about how we keep our marriage from slipping onto the back burner while raising kids, working, homeschooling, and trying to keep life moving forward. We get into why marriage should keep getting better over time, why the goal should be to love your spouse more than you did on your wedding day, and why improving yourself is one of the best ways to improve your marriage. We also talk about effort, date nights, parenting stress, staying calm when life feels chaotic, and why focusing on what you can control matters more than trying to change your spouse. Marriage is not 50/50, it is 100/100. If both people are working to become better, healthier, more disciplined, and more emotionally steady, the relationship has a much better chance of growing stronger. In this conversation, we cover: How our marriage has improved over time Why self improvement helps your marriage Why you should focus on becoming a better spouse The problem with trying to change the other person Why date nights matter, even when they are inconvenient Parenting, overstimulation, and staying calm with kids How to keep marriage strong during busy seasons Why marriage should not feel like something you “survive” We are trying to get to 300 subscribers, so make sure to subscribe if you enjoy the show, and share this episode with someone who could use the encouragement.
