Mom and Dad. Before you earn those titles you are simply two people in a relationship, feeling all the feels, with lots of free time to focus on yourselves and each other.
But what happens when you actually become parents? How do you keep the fire burning, the connection strong, and avoid the fate of the nearly 50% of couples who wind up getting divorced?
In a study from 2013, couples were asked their top reasons for getting divorced and 57% said one of the top reasons was “too much conflict and arguing”.
When you spend your life with someone, there’s bound to be conflict. But the key is using that conflict to make you and not break you.
That's the focus in "Life After Baby", the 10th part of our Family Planning Series. To help us with this topic, Sarah sat down with Sheina Schochet, a mental health counselor from New York specializing in pre-marital counseling, life transitions, and maternal mental health.
By the end of this episode you should know the common mistakes couples make after having kids and implement strategies to keep your relationship strong and stable.
Topics from this episode: domestic labor, domestic responsibility, chores, marriage, postpartum, family planning, transitioning to becoming a parent, parent transitions, life transitions, maternal gatekeeping, life after baby
Guests: Sheina Shochet
