How does parenthood affect marriage: Are parenting challenges to blame for relationship issues? | Episode 2

Do you ever wonder how relationships change after having kids?  How does parenthood affect marriage?    In today’s episode, we discuss how to save your marriage from parenthood; at the very least we take the first step, which is to validate the disruption that comes with having children.    As much of a blessing and a joy as it is to have children, marriage after baby is also admittedly strained.   Parenting challenges and relationship issues are not irrelevant to one another; they go hand-in-hand.   But this is not an episode dedicated to figuring out who is the problem in the relationship or about relationship problems after having a baby or children; it’s the opposite.    Together, we explore the affect that becoming parents has on us as a couple, we normalize the dip in marital satisfaction, and we reframe the bleak statistics so that we can destroy dominant myths that contribute to relationships failing.    Through consideration, compassion, and reflection, we can come out of this even stronger than before.
