#6 Reasons Why Having Children Will Negatively Impact Your Marriage by morereb10: 3:58pm On Jan 04, 2016
Do you know that having children in your marriage can negatively impact your happiness and love? Most people never considers this issue because our society is setup in such a way that when you are married, within a year, all you are expected of is to have a baby. We fail to understand that, this also negatively impact in the relationship of the marriage.

Nowadays, the relationship/marriage might be over before it even began. It gives rise to a lot of things including infidelity and more. So, let us see how children can negatively impact your marriage and how you can work on these challenges.

1. Stress: A new baby equals stress. It could be financial stress, emotional stress, physical stress, etc. The point is, you as a parent now have a very huge responsibility. You have a life in your hand that you have to nurture and care for. This could be a bit overwhelming.

What to do: If you are feeling stressed out about the responsibility, it is important that you open up with your partner. Chances are, they are probably worried too, so you won’t have to feel guilty or alone. Encourage each other and remind each other that they are doing the very best they can.

2. Jealousy: Some couples report that they feel a little jealous of their partner’s attachment to the child. No parent wants to feel left out. And sometimes, as parents, especially mothers, we are so focused on taking care of the child that we forget our partners need time too. Another issue is when a parent feels like his/her partner does not consider them a priority anymore because they now have kids.

What to do: Let each partner have time with the child, even if it is just to hold them for a little while. Remember to reaffirm your love for your partner too.

3. Difference in opinions:
There are issues you will face as parents which you have never faced before. You could have different ideas on how the kids should be raised. Your partner may want to do something with the child that you do not agree with. This is normal, because you are both two members of the same team and you might butt head from time to time.

What to do: Keep an open mind. If your partner is doing something that you might not think is best, try to see it from their perspective. If you are still butting head, then find a middle ground where you both will be comfortable.

Do you know that having children in your marriage can negatively and POSITIVELY impact your happiness and love? Most people never considers this issue because our society is setup in such a way that when you are married, within a year, all you are expected of is to have a baby. We fail to understand that, this also negatively and/or positively impact in the relationship of the marriage.

Nowadays, the relationship/marriage might be over before it even began. It gives rise to a lot of things including infidelity and more. So, let us see how children can negatively impact your marriage and how you can work on these challenges.

1. Stress: A new baby equals stress but also JOY and HAPPINESS. It could be financial stress, emotional stress, physical stress, etc. The point is, you as a parent now have a very huge responsibility which you fully well prepared for before taking the decision to have a child. You have a life in your hand that you have to nurture and care for. This could be a bit overwhelming just like it could equally be a FANTASTIC adventure.

2. Jealousy: Some couples report that they feel a little jealous of their partner’s natural attachment to the child. No parent wants to feel left out, and they arent, really. And sometimes, as parents, especially mothers, we are so focused on taking care of the child that we forget our partners need time too but the partners understand that the main priority is the wellbeing and care for the newborn child. Another issue is when a parent feels like his/her partner does not consider them a priority anymore because they now have kids, different priorities require different attention but a newborn child require mummy AND daddy's full attention.

3. Difference in opinions: There are issues you will face as parents which you have never faced before,. You could have different ideas on how the kids should be raised. Your partner may want to do something with the child that you do not agree with. This is normal, because you are both two members of the same team and you might butt head from time to time.
