In this episode of The 3L’s Podcast, Eman and Mimi open up about the challenge of keeping marriage at the centre while raising children. They share how, during the early years with three young kids, much of Mimi’s attention naturally shifted to the children, leaving Eman at times feeling overlooked. They discuss how easy it is for kids to become the focus of a marriage and the strain this can create on intimacy and connection. Both agree that this is often just a season, but how couples handle it sets the tone for the future. If partners withdraw, the relationship can suffer even after the kids grow up. However, when couples remain intentional about affirming each other, supporting one another, and making time to connect, their marriage can emerge even stronger. Mimi speaks about losing confidence in herself during motherhood and how small actions, such as fitting clothes or doing her hair, helped her feel like more than just “mom.” Eman encourages men to see the sacrifices their wives make and to invest in their well-being rather than seeking attention elsewhere. Together, they emphasise that a strong marriage is the foundation of a strong family, and that when the wife is cared for, the children also thrive. They also share practical ways couples can stay connected, from short trips without the kids to breakfast dates during school hours, or simply celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with intention. They close with the reminder that marriage, not children, must remain the anchor of the home, because a thriving partnership creates the best environment for kids to flourish. 💌 Send us your dilemmas & questions! ✨ Subscribe for more episodes on love, marriage, money & building a lasting legacy!
