When a spouse travels or works long hours, it’s hard to find a consistent family rhythm. And when an often-absent spouse is home for a day or two, it can throw off the daily rhythm and cause friction. How can we acknowledge and discuss this openly without offending each other? Cathy and Todd share their experience with this challenging topic, and demonstrate how this is relevant to all of our relationships.

If this episode resonates with you, you may enjoy a previous podcast titled How to avoid the pitfalls of a traveling spouse 

Todd also offers a shameless plug for his friend/therapist Tom Fuller.  More info can be found @ http://www.tomfullercounseling.com/
