30| Wife First Then Mother, Keeping Marriage the Foundational Relationship in the Family

Intentional Motherhood || Christian Homechool Moms, From Overwhelmed to Calm Home Routines & Emotional Regulation, Mindfulness & Spirituality

In this heartfelt episode of Intentional Motherhood, Kelsey Redd opens up about a topic many moms struggle with but rarely discuss—how to keep marriage strong in the middle of the busy, exhausting co-parenting years. Drawing from her personal journey of over a decade of infertility followed by the whirlwind of raising four little ones (including twins), Kelsey shares why your relationship with your spouse must remain the foundation of your family.

You’ll hear insights from marriage expert Matt Townsend, including his stages of marriage—yearning, earning, and enduring—and practical ways to nurture your relationship even in the trenches of motherhood. Kelsey highlights the importance of daily, weekly, and yearly rituals that help couples stay connected, avoid drifting apart, and model a healthy partnership for their children.

This episode will encourage you to:
✨ Remember that your marriage came before parenting—and will last after it.
✨ Create simple rituals that strengthen your bond with your spouse.
✨ See your relationship as the greatest gift you can give your children.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected from your spouse, or unsure how to prioritize your marriage without neglecting your kids, this conversation will give you hope, perspective, and practical steps forward.
