 |
|
As much as I loooove beautiful babies (and can't wait to have my own!), I'm concerned that having a baby will put some form of strain on our relationship. We can no longer spend all of our time together - just us, in peace... If we lay down for a nap, it won't be for long because the baby needs to be cared for and looked after. We can't just spend our days as we want, because we have the responsibility of a helpless little being on our hands. On the other hand, I have been waiting to be a mum for many years and neither of us can contain our excitement when it comes to thinking of caring for our little precious gift! I can't wait to see my husband as a father, and I can't wait to be "mummy". How has your baby changed your marriage?  |

| Initially Yes. But as you go on it's fantastic. It take very month to get hold of new member. Marraige get more mature and bonded. |

| I have four kids and your life will change. Instead of putting yourself first, your precious little angel will become your priority. It will be hard and it will be awesome all at the same time. My kids are ages 10,9 7 and 7. There are times I want to pull my hair out but I would not change it for nothing in the world. Embrace it with open arms and you will adjust fine. |

| Most divorces occur during the first few years after the birth of a child. If you're not sure your relationship can handle it, do yourself, the world and your potential child a favor and don't breed! |

| We have two boys 8 and 12...It is a great deal of sacrifice,for sure, but it's worth it! Your focus will change from yourselfto your family. It made me closer to my wife, as we came toreally appreciate each others contribution to raising thechildren. |

| It only brought more joy and love to our marriage! My husband was totally supportive through the pregnancy, and our relationship just grew stronger and more lovely.Yes, things change, but then you make the best out of them! Don't look upon things as being negative - you will be spending LOTS of family time together, and will see that that is what you WANT to do - you won't see it as a negative. There's always time for the couple still!Yes, the biggest thing is that you have to let go of selfishness - that's the maturity you need before you have a child. |

| Lack of sleep, walking the floors with a colicky baby, endless dirty diapers, teething, potty training. It just seemed like it would never end. |

| Yes it will change your marriage. I remember when our daughter was born 2 1/2 years ago. The doctor pulled her out, plopped her on my wife's tummy and said "Here you go; your life is about to change". Ask yourself these questions: Are you financially stable? Is your marriage strong? Do you and your husband have the same disciplinary measures? Do you have in-laws or Friends you trust and are willing to give you a break from time to time? Good Luck! They are wonderful! |

| Babies are great but they drive a wedge in the relationship, sex drops off, going out stops, naps only when the baby is napping. The good thing is it looks like you realize some of this already. Make sure you don't forget your husband, you need to take care of him once in while b/c once the baby arrives it seems like he takes a back seat to everything. |
