It's always strange to me when I hear that a couple is going to have a baby to "bring them closer." Closer to what?? Dirty diapers and smelly baby bottles? Having a child is one of the most stressgful events period and thinking that it will bring you and your spouse together is crazy. A marriage goes through enormous stress when a baby enters into the picture. And, if it's a first baby, it's a real endurance test for a marriage.
Children are work for of all, and secondly children change the dynamics of couplehood. Two people are now three and you know what they say about a threesome...........It's a triangle that will need time to adjust to. Couples should never forget that they were friends and lovers before the baby and must work hard to be that after a baby comes. Make time as a couple at least once a week. Arrange a date night and for heaven's sake, decide that you will not talk about the baby dirty diapers or bottles. And, men........please give your wife a chance to recover from the change in hormones after pregnancy and delivery.
