New Baby

This week in class we discussed the effects that having children have on a marriage.
Babies are a blessing in so many ways, but it can bring hardships on the marriage for several different reasons like: not spending as much time together, always taking care of the baby, taking different responsibilities, etc. The best way couples can work through their issues is if they are communicating and working together to raise their child. 
It is actually fairly common for a couple to get divorced after their first or second child is born because they do not work together to fit the babies needs, but start growing apart because they feel they have two different responsibilities in the home.
When the father is not at work, he should take care of the children instead of the mother so that the father gets his bonding time with the children and the wife can have a break to get other things done that she needs too.
