After 5 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to add an addition to our team. Our baby girl is our joy! We researched everything about having a baby. We knew the safety rating on the perfect stroller, the proper way to burp her, and the cost-benefit of using cloth diapers. Of all the books that we purchased, we neglected to purchase one that told us how to care for our marriage as well as we were caring for our child.
Children change everything in a household. While dedicating 24 hours a day to our little bundle of joy, we almost forgot to nurture our own needs. We were both determined to preserve the one thing that keeps everything else in order...a healthy marriage. Through trial and error, we found a way to balance our responsibilities and happiness.
