You may be wondering why you should be asking yourself that question. You might be surprised to know that research has shown that within 3 years after the birth of a child, 2/3 of couples experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction and an increase in conflict. Why is this? You become sleep deprived, maybe experience depression, there is more work with a new baby, conversation between the two of you declines dramatically, sex declines.......well, you get the picture. Of course it's not all bad---there are many wonderful times with the baby and with one another as well. Having a baby brings many emotional and psychological changes that many couples don't expect or prepare for.
So what can you do to keep this from happening? The Bringing Baby Home Program is ready to help families have the best possible outcomes! It is a research-based and research-tested program developed by Dr.'s John & Julie Gottman at The Relationship Research Institute. In his 35 years of research on marriage and families, Dr. John Gottman has discovered the keys to relationship satisfaction and a successful transition to parenthood.
"If parents learn the skills necessary for coping constructively with the myriad of changes brought about by the birth of their child, then they can also increase the satisfaction they experience in their relationship--therby improving their well-being and that of their child(ren)." 2006, Relationship Research Institute
