RECLAIM YOUR CONNECTION AND TRUST AFTER HAVING KIDS
Many relationships take a hit after a couple has kids. There is plenty of information out there about this:
sleep deprivation
relentless caretaking demands
the mental load
falling into traditional gender roles
male and female socialization
balancing a career
less or no time for self-care
loss of identity
lack of autonomy
unending adult responsibilities
body changes
differing parenting strategies
feeling “touched out”
and more
My perspective is that when all of these changes and stressors hit a relationship, whatever relationship challenges that pre-existed having kids that were not worked through, avoided, or that you as a couple remained unaware of cannot bear up under the pressure of the enormous stress that parenting puts on families.
After kids, the challenges often become clear, unavoidable, and problematic to the point that one or both partners can no longer bear.
Because parenting can put an enormous stress on couples.
Build a Strong Foundation
You need to work as a team more now than probably any other time in your relationship so far. Addressing underlying issues is essential to the couplehood and protects and fosters a healthy and happy family life.
