Welcome to episode 105 of the Restoration Home Podcast. What a conversation we have for you today.

We had the honour of hosting Katy Faust of the "Them Before Us" movement. She comes on with heart-hitting facts about the cost of divorce, the crisis in a divorce generation, and the irreplaceable role of fathers.

Today, 50% of divorces are over low-level conflicts that build, and the long-term cost of a self-serving "happiness' decision is our children's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Katy and Jennifer offer advice on better communicating with our husbands, the point of fathers, and the importance of putting our children first in every decision.

This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

Love your children by respecting their father and choosing the narrative you spin about him carefully.
It is children who bear the lifetime cost of a divorce, and step-parents rarely have your child's best interest at heart.
