Two busy partners can make for a stressful household. Managing the unromantic tasks of daily life and household management can be difficult. Making time for the things that really matter – connecting, having fun, playing and resting – can be quite challenging.

In a recently posted Canopy webinar, we discuss ways to better manage your household and make time for what matters most. We discuss the realities of busy, working partners and making the most of the time and energy we have.

Go to Canopy’s Webinar Center to watch it at your convenience.
