Marriage After Babies: The Weight We Don’t Talk About

In this episode of The Imperfect Walk Podcast, we open up about how intimacy, connection, and even identity change when you step into parenthood.We talk about the mental load that builds between couples, the postpartum depression that sneaks in when no one’s watching, and the body changes and insecurities that make it harder to feel close — physically and emotionally. From exhaustion and resentment to rediscovering grace and teamwork, we get real about how hard this season can be and how faith kept us from falling apart.This conversation will remind you that you’re not alone — and that love can still grow through the weight, the mess, and the changes that come with raising little ones, and that even if you're drowning right now, it doesn't always have to be like that.✨ Topics We Talk About:-Mental load & resentment in marriage.-Postpartum depression and emotional disconnect.-Expectations of parenthood often differ from reality.-Creating a postpartum plan is essential for new parents.-Understanding the mental load can improve family dynamics.-Learning to communicate and reconnect.-Finding grace through faith in hard seasons.💬 Share your thoughts in the comments — what changed most in your marriage after kids?📱 CONNECT WITH US:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok → @TheImperfectWalk🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more: YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@theimperfectwalk?si=dfYFKWrbxa49FMx4⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/theimperfectwalk?igsh=MWhzYXRnNHNhcmZxYw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theimperfectwalk?_t=ZS-90nw7w9wMQn&_r=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2l4eTusT2aSXetY0X4hsDdApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-imperfect-walk-podcast/id1848250825Amazon:https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/3a8a04ad-b75d-485f-940f-1305166dc7df/the-imperfect-walk-podcastChapters00:00 Introduction to Marriage After Children01:07 Expectations vs. Reality of Parenthood03:49 Navigating Chaos: The Early Days of Parenting06:24 The Gender Perspective: Mothers vs. Fathers08:55 Leadership in Parenting: The Role of Fathers12:05 Mental Load: Understanding the Burden on Mothers14:43 Spiritual Leadership and Support in Marriage16:54 Creating a Postpartum Plan19:43 Date Nights and Maintaining Connection22:28 Communication and Checkpoints in Marriage25:00 Advice for New Parents27:24 Closing Thoughts and Encouragement
