Lesson 06

    So this past week in my family relations class was again also interesting. Our discussions circled around getting married and the adjustments of being a newlywed and the baby blues. Our discussion today (Friday) was the most interesting to me because we learned that after the first baby is born most couples marital satisfaction decreases and does so with each child. I found that interesting. But things we can do to change that is simple it’s to INVOLVE HUSBAND!! 

    When babies are born into a family the mom and child usually go off and have their own bonding experiences and the husband feels kinda left out and forgotten about, so it is good for the couple to still go on dates together (don't always have to spend money!) and talk and have the dad be involved in the infants life then and now. It’s even a great idea to involve the husband during the pregnancy like going to check ups together and when the baby kicks, show him and explain to him how it feels so that he can feel involved and your marital satisfaction won’t decrease but be stable through out all of these experiences and increase.
