This week we have had a great discussion about how the relationship between the husband and wife changes when the children are born. It has been shown that marital satisfaction decreases just weeks after the baby is born. This could be because.
wife/mother is preoccupied with the child
reduced communication (both emotional and instrumental)
perceived agreement is decreased
the wife can be more critical of her husband
intimacy levels go down
less emotionally fulfilling communication
You need to be as much concerned about your spouse as you are yourself. This will help you to be closer to each other during these challenges.
