Nurturing Your Marriage as Adoptive or Foster Parents

Marriage. It’s wonderful and a blessing…but it takes work.

Just as we are being intentional as Adoptive and Foster Parents, we need to be intentional about our relationships with our spouses.

It can be easy to slide on this one…taking it for granted because we are busy and exhausted from all that we pout into our kiddos and all that we manage as parents. By the time our kiddos’ heads finally hit the pillows, we are done. Worn out. And ready to crash ourselves.

But it's important to nurture our closest relationships. It fact, it’s CRUCIAL!

Tonight in CONNECT, I’ve invited Lisa Qualls to come speak about nurturing your marriage. She is the mom of twelve amazing kids by birth and adoption, and sometimes more through foster care. More than thirty years ago she married Russ; they had no idea the adventures awaiting them. They celebrated their 32nd anniversary by becoming foster parents.

Lisa’s adoption journey has been marked by joy as well as challenges of trauma and attachment. Lisa is passionate about caring for children from “hard places.” She earnestly believes in the power of Jesus to heal children’s broken hearts and wounded minds. 
She is a TBRI Practitioner and works for Fostering Idaho.

Lisa writes the blog One Thankful Mom and is currently launching her brand new podcast, The AdoptionConnection. You can find Lisa on all social media as One Thankful Mom.

Make sure you take time to nurture your marriage. It will benefit you, your spouse, and your child!.
