How Your Marriage Is Impacted by the Calling

No one warned us that foster care would challenge our marriage more than anything else ever had.

The exhaustion. The disagreements about discipline. The resentment that creeps in when you feel unseen.

But it also taught us how to fight — not each other, but for each other.

We’ve learned to debrief after hard days. To pray even when we’re tired. To give each other grace when our tanks are empty.

Marriage in this calling isn’t easy. But it’s forged in fire. And what’s come out on the other side? Deeper trust. Louder laughter. And a bond that knows how to bend without breaking.

We’re not perfect. But we’re still standing. And sometimes… that’s the miracle.
