“Kids do not equate to a happy marriage on their own. In fact they can be quite the opposite. The key is to learn and understand that the path you laid out for yourselves is gone once kids are involved. Some can’t get past that, and it almost hurt our marriage. The key then is to understand together that you’re on a new path — but one that must also maintain the pre-kid foundations.”
“The sooner you can understand this, the sooner you can adjust to the new post-kid reality, ensuring that while you’re making marital sacrifices, you’re not losing sight of your life pact with your partner.“
Amen!
