Relationship order matters more than most parents realize. When we prioritize our spouse above our children, we're not loving our kids less—we're actually giving them the priceless gift of security and teaching them what healthy relationships should look like.

In this episode, we explore the importance of correctly ordering our relationships:

• The proper order of relationships: spouse first, children second, extended family third, then community
• Prioritizing your spouse demonstrates the foundation of family that God designed from Genesis
• The pitfalls of misplaced priorities include feelings of abandonment for those closest to us
• Practical steps include scheduling regular date nights, creating family rhythms, learning to say no, and praying for wisdom
• Even in difficult marriages, small gestures can begin breaking down walls between spouses
