More about how to care for your children by caring for your spouse…
One of the big problems in many marriages comes about when the children arrive. That doesn’t mean the children aren’t loved or welcome, it just means that having a baby is hard, and it puts a lot of pressure on your marriage. Once children are born, there is high percent of romantic relationships that get pushed to the back. And, the wend of the romantic relationship comes the end of a marriage most often than not.
As you know, a newborn sleeps alot but the constant feedings and changing of clothes and diapers along with all the other household duties is tiresome. Sleep deprivation can and will kick in quickly. But, even then, the newborn doesn’t require the parent’s attention 24 hour a day. I know I know, the women are looking at me thinking "woman did you really have babies because you are crazy". Yes, I had babies and yes I let my marriage slip in the romantic department. But, things are looking up, their age helps a lot.
The most important thing to remember is that the children are not the reason why the relationship between the husband and wife suffers. It is the marital partner who controls his/her time and in turn controls how much time they spend working on their marriage.
So, go ahead, give it a try, see what you think? And, then, let me know, ok?
