What are some ways to prepare your relationship for a baby?
Cupid’s Advice:
There’s no doubt that your relationship will change when you have a child. Â In order to avoid a negative impact, Cupid has some ways to prepare your relationship pre-baby:
1. Plan: Avoid being surprised by child-related obstacles as much as possible by doing the research you need to do before the baby is born. Â Make Daddy read the Daddy chapters in What to Expect While Expecting.
2. Strengthen your bond: Spend as much romantic and quality time together as possible pre-birth. Â Make sure your relationship is as strong as it can possibly be before your lives are changed forever.
3. Discuss expectations: Make sure that you both view raising a child in the same way. Â Determine what morals and values you plan on instilling so that you don’t find out when it counts and fight about it.
