SOUNDS AMAZING
The Tween Years Have Been A Total Game-Changer For My Marriage

We hear a lot about how hard the teen and tween years are — frankly, it scares me! Which is why I enjoyed this piece by Christina Crawford, about something great that's happened as her kids have gotten a little older: "I feel like I have been knee-deep in parenting littles for a bazillion years. For so long, most days have worn me out so much that I barely think straight, let alone get some quality alone time with my spouse. But something miraculous and completely unexpected has happened recently: My grumpy, moody tweens can stay home alone (for short periods of time). It's a milestone, and I didn't expect just what a game changer it would be for my marriage."
