Overwhelmed? Discipline Makes Things Easier.
VIDEO: Whenever you find yourself in a space in your life where you are overwhelmed and it is impacting the quality of your relationship……it’s time to re-strategize, reorganize, and decompress. How do you intentionally lighten the load you feel? How do you unwind and re-establish that sacred yet seemingly elusive space of peace within your own mind and relationship? A wife & mom of 3 wrote in about how overwhelmed she is feeling with hubby, kids, work, school, bills, etc. She says that she & her husband unintentionally take their frustration out on each other and wants to know what they can do to gain some calm in their hectic lives. Sounds all too familiar! 🙂 Listen in and hear how we advise this viewer to reconnect.
You two are right on pointg as usual. I am a firm believer in a routine, its easy to feel overwhelmed when you have more than one child and you and your spouse are working full time AND going to school. What will save you every day of the week is a routine with the children and your spouse. Maybe you decide to do a tag team approach after eating dinner one parent cleans the kitchen with the oldest child while the other parent does bath and bedtime story routine with the younger two. Once the oldest is done helping out with the kitchen he/she takes their shower and has quiet reading in their room until bedtime. I am telling you, getting the kids to bed or their room @ a pre-determined time nightly gives you some peace of mind in knowing you will have @ least an hour or two (depending on the kids bedtime) to relax, unwind, and connect with your spouse! It will take the two of them sitting down and discussing their kids, their wants, needs, and desires to come up with a plan that works for them. Kudos to you for wanting to have a better marrige!
