Your Kids Do Not Come First—Marriage Is Between Two People, And That’s It
“I’m not saying family isn’t important. I value my family a lot. But what’s best for my kids is a beautiful example of two people who love each other. You can’t put your spouse on the back burner for 18 years and then say, ‘Oh, hey, you can be my Number 1 again.'”
I Am A Stay-At-Home MOM, Not A Housekeeper
