b"Kids are amazing from those cute little baby faces to the amazing young adults they become. However, when the kids become more important than your marriage that\\u2019s when problems arise. Some of these may be: The kids are still sleeping with you. Everything revolves around the kids activities (to the point that the two of you can\\u2019t remember the last time you went out and it was just the two of you). You find yourself drifting apart and using the kids as your buffer zone, your distraction, and your focus. All of those things that really should be on your spouse. Your children need to know that your\\xa0marriage is\\xa0strong. They need to see the example of mom and dad valuing each other and making each other a priority. Unfortunately... When your\\xa0marriage becomes all about the kids, no matter what age they\\xa0are, an unfair burden is placed upon them. One that they were never\\xa0designed to have to bear. Kids are not a\\xa0replacement for your\\xa0marriage relationship. They are not\\xa0to be your best friend, during the child rearing years. Your child is not\\xa0to take on the responsibility of\\xa0meeting your adult emotional needs or attention. It\\u2019s time to look at the relationship you both have with your kids, make changes that benefit your marriage and then\\xa0put the energy back into\\xa0your spouse. In this week's show Tony and Alisa talk about why it\\u2019s important to set up guardrails and have no kids allowed areas in your marriage.
