When many young couples who are
deeply in love get married, they never seem to anticipate or plan for how to
handle kids when they come. And some kids just show up in the very first nine
months into the marriage. We have found women who conceive the very first month
after the wedding develop complications that the young couples grapple with
just after their honey-moon.
When the kids start coming in a
marriage it usually have some impact on the relationship between the couple and
their ability to mange this effectively determines how they would sustain the
joy in their home.
How
does having a baby affect your marriage? Who do you pay more attention or your
spouse or your kids?
Married people have to deliberately prioritize
their relationships. Before you have children, your spouse obviously is number
one. But once children enter the picture, parents often put their kids ahead of
their spouses on the priority list.
What do you think is the right thing
to do? Should your spouse come before your kids? Or should it be the other way
around?
Please
share your opinion. Some think kids come first, while
others say it’s their spouse all the way! What do you think?
