Keeping Your Relationship Alive While Raising Kids - with Eli Weinstein

When kids arrive, the relationship doesn’t disappear - it just gets pushed to the edges of life. Between sleepless nights, work stress, logistics and constant responsibility… it can feel like there’s no space left for “us”. In this episode, Lawrence and Mat sit down with therapist and author Eli Weinstein, to explore what really happens to a relationship in the parenting years - and how couples can stay connected through it. We talk about: The identity shift from partners to co-parents Why resentment quietly builds (and how to spot it early) Communication when both people feel stretched and exhausted Intimacy, teamwork, and emotional connection after kids Practical tools to strengthen your relationship without adding pressure or guilt This conversation is honest, compassionate, and deeply real - especially for parents who still want to be great partners, not just great caregivers. If you’re in the thick of the parenting years, this one’s for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
