Product Description
The no-holds-barred truth about what having a baby can do to your marriage – and what you can do about it.
In the months after a first child is born, all hell breaks loose. A crying newborn can reduce a grown man to tears, turn a sane woman into a bottle-wielding shrew, and otherwise test the strongest of marriages. It sometimes seems that a baby's mission is to destroy everything it comes in contact with: your furniture, your clothes, your car…and your marriage.
This funny, compassionate, opinionated guide addresses how the early parenting years impact marriage, using real-life stories from both men and women to tell the whole truth. It discusses in detail couples' frustrations over the division of labour, changing roles and expectations, sex (or lack thereof), and dealing with parents and in-laws. With real quotes from real people, and the authors own combined experiences, it offers a positive, humorous and solution-oriented approach.
• Addresses the impact of parenthood on marriage, detailing the insights of and lessons learned by both men and women.
• Provides common sense, tried-and-tested strategies to address the negative impact young children can have on a relationship.
• Helps you understand why this challenge occurs, exploring both the male and female perspective, and how you can address it.
Written by three feisty women, who have been there and can vouch for the fact that complaining gets you nowhere, Baby-proofing your Marriage answers those nagging doubts in the back of the married person's mind: 'Are we the only ones bartering over who will do what and arguing about who has more free time?' And offers you easy, realistic solutions to keep you sane and your relationship healthy.

Pretty good advice,

This review is from: Baby-proofing Your Marriage: How to laugh more, argue less and communicate better as your family grows (Paperback)
Although it's nothing you can't find out on relationship websites this book is pretty good, concise, easy reading for the busy mums out there. Lots of good information in a good easy format, written with a touch of comedy. Full of good advice, anecdotes and tips - I'd recommend giving it a shot.

confirmation that I am normal and not insane!,
By Helen C "Helen C" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby-proofing Your Marriage: How to laugh more, argue less and communicate better as your family grows (Paperback)
This book has saved my sanity and brought me back from the edge of dispair! Who knew that so many other women feel the same way when they become mummies!!! This book echos the rants and moans of all my friends with babies, and it is a gentle reassurance that what you go through with a new baby is completely normal, and men, generally, are all the same! This is one of the best books I have read about parenting / babies etc and will bring a smile to your face if nothing else!

Read before you drop ya sprog and potentially save your marriage,

This review is from: Baby-proofing Your Marriage: How to laugh more, argue less and communicate better as your family grows (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me as something to read before I gave birth. I am so glad I did because it made me understand in a light and humerous way why I reacted completely differently to things to do with the baby, from the way my partner did. If I hadn't have read this book I may have gladly walked out on my husband on a few occasions but thankfully this book made me realise he wasn't an uncaring monster just he was programmed differently to me. I think this is an incredibly important book to read if like me you don't have family to take you aside and warn you of what can happen to your marriage once a a baby arrives. Although saying that I have leant this to a few married friends that were having problems and since reading this book those problems ahve got a heck of a lot better for them.
