Experience how your children thrive when they see your loving relationship.
From the moment you wake up, someone needs you. You are pulled in a million directions from sun up until sundown, and it’s likely your job continues through the night. Stress builds in your home where you and your partner manage careers, childcare, and personal needs. Your relationship has become strained and your partner feels more like a co-parent instead of your lover. The needs of your family are so great that you can feel yourself on edge, and it feels as if your relationship with your partner is close to a breaking point. You miss when things were easy between you two and feel lost as to how to help your kids.
