When it comes to parenting, most couples focus on discipline strategies, school choices, and managing behavior. But what if one of your most powerful parenting tools isn’t a strategy at all—but your marriage itself?

In this episode, we’ll show you how a Christ-centered, connected marriage naturally overflows into your parenting. The way you love, communicate with, and treat your spouse is constantly shaping what your children believe about love, respect, and relationships.

💬 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your marriage is your greatest influence in your children’s lives
• How unresolved conflict between you and your spouse affects your kids—even when you think they don’t notice
• Why a healthy, grace-filled relationship teaches more than your words ever could
• How to model faith, love, and security in your home without needing to be perfect
