Having a baby is an exciting new beginning – new relationships are built and new dreams are created. However, despite this excitement, whether you’re expecting your first baby, your second or having baby number 3 or 4 - Family Health Research has found that over 66% of couples experience a drop in relationship satisfaction within the three years following the birth of a baby, with a dramatic increase in conflict and hostility and dissatisfaction between the couple.
Most divorces happen within the first 7 years of marriage and the children from conflicted homes can experience mental, emotional, behavioural difficulties throughout their lives.
The causes of these difficulties for couples are multiple;
*Lack of sleep * Loss of libido *Changed expectations of roles * Increased anxiety *Financial concerns *less time for self *more stress and arguments * adjusting to ongoing “kid-care”
