Having a baby to save your relationship
It is a Bad Idea, but people keep trying it!
We're talking about having a baby as a way to bring a couple closer together when they are having problems. As I type at 4:40 am, it is blindingly obvious to me what a dumb idea that is.
Heather and I have a great relationship, I am happy to say. And we have two great kids. But raising kids is difficult. For all that is wonderful about children, raising them is tiring, stressful, and often frustrating. It tests not just your patience, but your relationship. And it keeps on testing it for two decades or so.
And because children take up so much time, you need to make a special effort to look after your own relationship. It is all too easy to neglect your spouse. That's not a good idea, even if it is in a good cause.
If you are having problems in your relationship, sort them out before you have children. You'll be thankful you did and so will the little ones.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
