Love + Marriage

Being a mom and a spouse is hard! Oftentimes, marriage takes a back seat when kids enter the picture as busy lives and exhaustion take hold.

At Kansas City Mom Collective, we provide resources to help you foster your relationship and offer support when things get hard. 

Our team is here to provide valuable insights on building and strengthening the bonds with our loved ones and to offer support when relationships face challenges. Whether you’re looking for date night ideas, date nights at home with board games for two, or help planning a couples getaway, we’ve got you covered. 

The effort you put into strengthen your bonds outside of parenthood will be worth it!

With COVID-19 still making date night out a challenge, this Valentine's Day we're celebrating with a little at-home date night after the kids are in bed. There are lots of great local choices for both grazing boards and locally...

This spring, with sudden school closures, many of us found ourselves constantly entertaining and teaching our kids, and with school ramping back up, we are back at it. How will we have time for any socializing during this crazy...
I don’t want to brag, but I’m a pretty epic fighter. Master manipulator. Stoic stonewaller. Jedi justifier. Couples having a hard time in quarantine? Not me and my man, I’m just too good at fighting to lose. OK, obviously this...
My husband and I have worked from home together for the last five years. He works in sales, so much of his day is spent glued to his phone and computer in his basement office. I work from home,...
“Well, I sure hope we like each other!” That’s what my husband half-jokingly said to me last week as he walked in the house after what would likely be both our last days working in our respective offices.   My response? “Sooooo...do you...
Have you ever tasted something so glorious you knew there had to be a fabulous story behind it?  That’s how I feel every single time after I eat something I made in my air fryer. My mother-in-law bought it for...

I’m a sucker for Valentine’s Day. I love all the cheesy, romantic flowers, cards, chocolates, and I even love the heart-shaped jewelry. It always feels like a little bright spot in the middle of a dreary and cold winter...
We have been married 10+ years, and I still find myself fighting sometimes for my husband to talk to me after a disagreement. I will admit I nag him a little, just for him to open up. But it’s...
