**Lena:** Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized episode from BeFreed-we're absolutely thrilled to dive into today's topic with you, and I have to say, Miles and I have been looking forward to this conversation all week.
**Miles:** Absolutely, Lena. And you know, what we're exploring today is something that touches so many couples but doesn't get talked about nearly enough-how becoming parents can completely shake up a marriage in ways nobody really prepares you for. It's like, one day you're a team of two, and suddenly you're navigating this whole new world of sleepless nights, endless responsibilities, and-let's be honest-sometimes feeling like strangers living in the same house.
**Lena:** Right, and that's exactly what makes this conversation so important. We're going to explore not just why this happens, but what you can actually do about it when you're in the thick of it all.
