Do you feel like since having a baby, your relationship with your partner has taken a backseat? You’re not alone. Many couples find it challenging to adjust to the new dynamics and responsibilities that come with parenthood. Sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and the constant demands of caring for a newborn can leave little time or energy for nurturing your relationship.

Communication is key to a healthy relationship, especially when navigating the challenges of parenthood. Make an effort to express your feelings openly and honestly with each other.

Relating can be a hassle
Even though you love them a passel
You start off real nice
But then you think twice:
Did I make a mistake?
Is there no give and take?
Joy’s hard to find
When you’re losing your mind
It’s hard to know
Which way to go
Things are so fraught
My efforts are naught
How can I make things better?
I heard about this class
And figured… I would pass
But then, I thought again
If there’s any chance to win
I oughta give it a try
There’s lots of reasons why
Much to my surprise
I found love in my partner’s eyes
Now our life’s so sweet
At last I feel complete
