No one really prepares you for how much parenting will change your marriage.

In this episode, we open up about the ways having kids has reshaped how we communicate, how we love each other, and how we stay connected in the chaos. From tag-teaming tantrums to learning what intimacy looks like on 4 hours of sleep — this is our honest look at what parenting is really doing to us… and for us.

We talk about:

• Losing and rediscovering connection as parents
• The invisible load of parenting and how it creates resentment
• What “quality time” means in the toddler years
• How faith and grace are the only way through

This isn’t a parenting guide — it’s a marriage podcast for couples working together to live a real life.

Share this with another parent couple who needs some encouragement this week.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into a topic every couple can relate to — the seasons of marriage. Just like nature, relationships go through cycles: some vibrant and exciting, others quiet and challenging. Whether you’re in the honeymoon phase or navigating a wintery stretch, every season has value — and purpose.We’ll explore the four core seasons many couples experience over the years, how to recognize the one you're in, and practical ways to grow through each stage — not just survive it. Plus, we share stories, insights, and prompts to help you reflect on your journey as a couple.

Your past is part of your story—but it doesn’t have to write the script for your relationship. In this episode, we explore how childhood, family dynamics, and past relationships shape how we love, fight, and connect today. You’ll hear honest insights, encouragement, and practical ways to rewrite old patterns and build something new—together. Whether you’re working through baggage or just curious about your emotional roots, this episode invites reflection, grace, and growth.

In this episode of Why or why not get married in 2025, Michael and Heather talk about the blessings, struggles and expectations about getting married in today’s culture.

In this first episode of Imperfectly Married The Podcast, we open the door to our story—who we are, where we’ve been, and why we felt led to start this journey. With so many voices out there, why add one more? Because we believe every marriage is part of a bigger story—one worth fighting for, with grace at the center. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty, growth, and choosing love, even on the hard days. Let’s walk this road together, with faith as our guide.

Welcome to Imperfectly Married: The Podcast — where real conversations meet real commitment. We're Michael and Heather, just a married couple learning as we go, trusting God through the highs, lows, and everything in between.
