The Parenting Stage of Marriage -- When Your Family Grows

When the two of you become three, major changes and adjustments invade your lives. Issues about parenting styles, lack of time, over tiredness, lack of alone time, and unmet expectations can turn into battlegrounds.

Child rearing can be a tremendous bonding experience for a couple when they parent their kids together. Keeping the lines of communication open is critical, not just with one another, but with your children, too.
