Comments on: Marriage Monday: Children http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/marriage-monday/ Heart of Wisdom Author Thu, 17 May 2012 20:05:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carrie http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/marriage-monday/#comment-969 Carrie Tue, 22 May 2007 02:04:47 +0000 http://207.126.54.137/blog/2007/05/21/marriage-monday/#comment-969 Having our five children has caused us to become more united then we were pre-kids. We have an easy relationship and a close one (after some tough trials)and we discussed many aspects of child-rearing before kids. Both being eldest of large families we had the advantage of still watching our parents raising our younger sibs as a married couple. Saw things we did/didn't agree with and adjusted accordingly. We have become more united, stronger as a couple. We rarely disagree in issues of parenting. Once in awhile one or the other will quietly, later appeal to the other about harshness or leniency. We save our few disagreements for things like money and time :)! Parenting has been a growth experience, for sure! But we still look forward to having more time when the kids have grown. It is hard to take time alone! No complaints, just facts. We do manage to get in a game of cribbage now and then! Having our five children has caused us to become more united then we were pre-kids.

They are such a big part of our lives! How could we not? We have come together over the years in many of our differences. Compromise and listening are such key areas in marriage, especially about children! Thanks for posting, Robin! We focus conversation on the kids, too, when we go out.
