Do you fall short in the same ways we do when loving your kiddos, spouse and self well? Over here we don’t only talk about the things that are going perfectly in our homes. In fact, we share ways in which we fail pretty routinely in this one. We are thankful that the Strugg’s wrote in with such practical tips for Loving WELL and yep, we sure do talk about sex in this one. Oh, and screen time. It’s killing us softly.
