How do I pursue Jesus in my marriage? How do I meet new friends now that I’m married? Am I ready to become a mom? How will marriage change once I have a baby? How can I create a home and a life that I love while staying youthful and enjoying my 20s? Welcome to Love in a Cottage where we will discuss all of these topics and more! Each week, host Paige Geidel brings you honest conversations with wives and mamas along with her personal experiences and stories from marriage and motherhood to encourage you on your journey. Paige navigates topics like friendship, postpartum anxiety and depression, intentional parenting, contentment in seasons of hardship, mental health in marriage, dating and so much more. We know the early years of marriage and motherhood can be challenging, but we believe that God can use each and every season of our lives to grow us, to teach us, and to shape us into the women that He created us to be. If you find yourself craving a community of women who are married, mothering in their 20s, and passionately following Jesus, then Love in a Cottage is for you. Pull up a seat, grab a cup of coffee and get ready to be encouraged.
