How do you prepare your relationship for a child?
Cupid’s Advice:
Adding a baby into the mix can sometimes tears couples apart faster that you can say, “Pacifier.” That’s why it’s important to make sure your relationship is as strong as it can be before baby bump turns into bundle of joy:
1. Enjoy now: Once the baby comes there’s a very slim chance that you and your spouse will have any alone time. Think of it as ‘rollover minutes’ and spend as much time together as you can right now to make up for the next few months.
2. Keep up date night: Even though the baby can and should be the main focus of your relationship for the first few months, make sure you and your spouse still find time to connect. Having a strong relationship will create a better environment for the baby to grow up in.
3. Resolve existing problems: With a baby on the way there are bound to be some disagreements arise. Ironing out any problems a couple has pre-baby will ensure a smoother ride post-baby.
