How Fostering Changed Your Marriage or Relationships

No one tells you how fostering will press every button in your marriage.

It exposes cracks you didn’t know were there.

Different parenting styles. Different thresholds for stress. Different ways of processing grief.

My wife and I had to learn how to fight for unity — not just survival.

We had nights where we didn’t speak.

Nights where we blamed each other.

And mornings where we had to choose, again, to hold hands and pray before walking into the fire.

Fostering doesn’t just test your love — it refines it.

It turns infatuation into intercession.

It takes romance and stretches it into sacrificial love.

But when done together, with prayer and honesty, it can also deepen your bond in ways nothing else could.

I’ve seen my wife carry brokenness with such grace, and I’ve fallen in love with her all over again — not because it’s been easy, but because we’ve walked through the hard… together.
