Marriage and Your First Child

While most people have heard that marriage satisfaction decreases after children are born, most people haven´t been told that marriage satisfaction doesn´t have to decrease once children are born. In fact, children can enhance a marriage. If you have just had your first child consider the following ideas to keep a spark in your marriage. First, it is a good idea to find time to be alone. If you can find a good babysitter try going out at least twice a month. Second, share personal ideas and thoughts on a daily basis. Third, include the child´s growth and development in your talks. Fourth, both women and MEN need to be involved in parenting. Fifth, try to find individual time to develop personal skills.
