How can we strengthen our marriage while raising toddlers?

Raising toddlers while trying to maintain a strong marriage can feel like a constant juggling act. With all the chaos of parenting—like managing nap times, playdates, and bedtime routines—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder how to keep our relationship thriving. Sometimes, it feels like there’s barely any time left for each other.
