Stop Putting Kids Before Marriage: Couples Therapy with Letty and Lenny

When kids take over the house, marriage can easily go to survival mode - and suddenly the relationship you love feels like one more chore on the to-do list. In this powerful Couples Therapy episode, Lenny and Letty open up about the invisible ways parenting, exhaustion, and unresolved patterns are draining their connection. With three kids, room-sharing, chronic sleep disruption, and years of putting everyone else first, they have reached a point where intentional connection is nonexistent. Debra helps them uncover what is really happening underneath the bedtime battles. What starts as a conversation about kids in the bedroom becomes a deeper look at motivation, avoidance, emotional timing, and the patterns that keep couples disconnected even when they still love each other deeply. If you’ve ever felt like your marriage is getting lost under the demands of parenting, work, and fatigue, this episode will hit home. It’s honest, hopeful, and full of practical wisdom for couples who want to move from barely getting by to building something stronger on purpose.Tune into this episode, and then grab a copy of Relationship Skills to learn the skills you need to build a thriving relationship.
