Encouraging, realistic and fun

I stumbled across this podcast after getting one of their reels on my Instagram feed. It is one of the most helpful marriage and parenting podcasts I have found! They are realistic and make you feel like your problems aren’t insurmountable or something terrible, they are instead normal struggles that all parenting partners have. My husband and I have recognized ourselves in so many of the conversations and vignettes they share. Please keep up the good work encouraging parenting partners. It’s so needed!

Real, Relatable, Fun!

I love this podcast and tell all my parenting friends about it. The episodes aren’t super long, the topics are always real and relatable, and Erin and Stephen are fun to listen to! Listening to these episodes has helped prevent a lot of issues that could have popped up in our marriage, simply by giving us ways to talk about the ongoing challenges so many parents face. I highly recommend Couples Counseling for Parents!

Such a great podcast to listen when you are in the thick of parenting!

Every sing episode I have felt seen and validated and allowed me to see my partners perspective as well. Great way to get started with better communication ❤️
