baby boom
Marital satisfaction is very important in a marriage. When you are in your first year of marriage, obviously it is going to be very high. However it starts to lower when you have your first child. As a matter of fact, most marriages fail around 2 to 5 years. How can you keep your marriage from failing at this stage of it? One thing we talked about was dating. It is super important that you keep dating even during the pregnancy. Husbands can also become uninvolved in the pregnancy and feel left out. This could cause boundaries between the husband and the wife, but if the couple proceeds to date and spend that time with each other, boundaries will surround husband, wife, and child. During the birth is also a very critical time. That moment is a huge bonding moment for husband and wife.The more that he is involved with the baby, the better. It really opened my eyes to how I want things when I someday have children.

I think this is such a cool thing to learn! I wonder if this is why marriages in the church tend to last longer. It is something we hear a lot: "The importance of courting" throughout your life. It is important because your relationship does change, and you need to continue to spend that time together "getting to know each other" constantly....so you don't wake up one day and feel like you are married to a complete stranger.
ReplyDeleteEven after almost 33 years of marriage, I LOVE being able to go on a date with my sweetheart. Great post Kindsey!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post Kindsey! Dating your husband (or wife) is super important throughout marriage. But I completely agree with you about making sure that your husband is involved with everything that has to do with baby so that he doesn't feel left out.
