You might have been reasonably happy in your marriage before kids came along – but we all know that going from two to three is a major life change and some marriages don't survive it very well.
It's really hard to go from wife to mom, or husband to dad. Although parenting is hard, many find that it's easier than marriage. And so we get stuck in our parenting role and neglect our marriage role.
You may feel you have more control, influence, and even love for your kids, which can make you feel more and more disconnected from your partner. If any of this sounds familiar, there's hope!
What you'll hear in this episode:
- How just like mainstream parenting advice is no longer working for families today, mainstream marriage advice is failing us. A new approach to relationships is needed.
- How it's possible to have a type of home life dynamic where:
- We can all become extremely content and even in love with exactly what we have as we have it.
- We can manage conflict with relative ease and experience high levels of connection and presence with our partners even with very young children.
- How you don't fix or find a soulmate you BECOME a soulmate.
- Peaceful partnering – creating a loving, lasting, sustainable, and synchronized marriage.
- 3 secrets behind the Parent In Love method.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
