Did you know a huge proportion of relationships break up within the first year of having a baby, seems mad but it is true, one of the causes we believe is that woman become so obsessed with being a mum that they forget to be a woman. We know there as some many factors that have changed , hormones, tiredness, stress, the constant smell of baby sick, milk etc.
Some one once said to me that the key to surviving your first year of motherhood with your brain and your husband in tact was to make sure come rain or shine you make time for your husband, doesn't have to be a lot of time one night a month when somebody else is responsible for the baby and you go out for a meal cook at home anything all that matters is that you do something together.
It works it gives you both something to look forward too, it gives you both a chance to catch up with each other and what has been happening. It makes your husband feel wanted, many men feel surplus to requirement when a child is born its not their fault it is just that they often don't have as much time to learn to parent as a mother does.
Try it, there is always a way and it is worth the effort.
