26 | Making the Family Decision to Have a Full Time Stay at Home Parent

Couples Becoming Intentional | Christian Marriage, Communication, Young Marriage, Relationships

Ever since having kids, we’ve made the decision to have one of us stay home full time to be with our kids. In the beginning, we assumed this was the “holy” thing to do for our kids and it has since evolved into being a decision that has refined us, stretched us, and made us look more like Jesus.

We know that all family makeups are different, so there is absolutely NO shame or guilt for doing things differently in your family, this is what has worked well for us.

Highlights:

• Stay at home parents are EXTREMELY important
• My belief of a stay at home mom being more “holy”
• Gender roles and mutual submission
• Our personal experiences
• My network marketing career
  • Learn more about this story in Episode 12 | Importance of Living Life With Margin & Practically Living Life Without Hustle
• The death of a dream
• “If I just had this __________ income” then we’ll be good
• Reasons we made the swap from one parent to the other
• What other people say about our situation
• Understanding our strengths and living in it
• What would Jesus do if he was me?
