Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

When we fall in love, we put all kinds of energy and anticipation into the relationship. We can’t wait to see him again, and when we do, our heart flutters a bit.
When we become pregnant, maybe especially with our first baby, once we get through the 1st trimester of morning sickness, we are full of excited anticipation to welcome this new little life into our our lives.
We don’t think of the cost of sleepless nights, a crying baby that can’t be consoled, or teaching and reminding our children to contribute to the upkeep of the home with daily chores.
For each of these relationships, we focus on the joy. And then when reality hits, sometimes we fall into doing just the minimum – and just the minimum is lukewarm.
And when we show up in these relationships – with our husband and or our children – doing just the minimum, it quickly descends into apathy.
And apathy is often unspoken but clearly felt by others.

As we begin the season of Lent, let's look at how we live our lives in our marriage and in our motherhood.
Our ordinary life is the perfect vehicle to embrace the goal of Lent, which is conversion.  
As wives and mothers, our days are filled with opportunities to convert our heart, mind, and body to God.  Do we recognize those opportunities, and do we take up our cross daily to follow Jesus or do we ignore the opportunity to make our everyday holy?

Giving children chores is more than just teaching them to contribute to the care of the home - although, that's an important lesson for them to learn.
Chores help them develop virtues like orderliness, patience, fortitude, generosity, and so many more.
In this episode, I talk about the Faith & Family Project Membership - a monthly teaching and coaching membership for women to educate and support them in living their vocation to marriage and motherhood.  I teach on the the hot topics of the four pillars of our life:  marriage, parenting, home management, faith/mindset, and self-care.  You can earn more about the membership at https://janetquinlan.com/project/

Before the children, before the house, before everything else except God, our husband should be our first priority.
We often focus on the needs of our children which we perceive as always urgent and important, and we sometimes neglect our spouse in the process of fulfilling our children's needs.
When we put our spouse 1st, the order of the family is as it should be and together we build our family life.

Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.
Have you ever considered that you have a mission from God to be useful, blaze a trail, and shine forth with your faith and your love?
That's exactly what we're called in this mission of marriage and motherhood.
In today's episode, I talk about the foundation of our lives as wives/mothers - embracing our mission in our own little part of the world to change the world!
My membership, "The Faith & Family Project", is a place that supports you in your mission.  We focus on the four pillars of our life:  marriage, parenting, home management, and faith/mindset/self-care.
We learn how to:
Connect again with your husband
Enjoy your children as you learn to teach instead of punish
Learn how to implement systems in your home so it doesn’t overwhelm you
Connect with God and let Him support you in this mission
