Tips for a happy partnership with child
For parents, the dream child means pure happiness. But the offspring demands a great deal of attention, especially in the first years of life. Time for the two of you becomes scarcer, and many priorities shift. There is a danger that parents will lose sight of their own needs and their relationship if they do not actively counteract this. Read practical tips here on how parents can make family life happy and remain strong as a couple.
Joint offspring means great happiness for the relationship. And yet many things change: For a few years, the needs of the child take center stage. Everyday life with one or more children is often unpredictable and stressful. The result: little time for the partnership, little time for intimacy, little time for conversations that do not revolve around the organization of everyday life. Balancing everything without losing sight of each other as a couple can be challenging. But it can be done!
One thing in advance: There is no patent remedy for a happy relationship with a child. Every parent has to find their own way of dealing with the challenges of family life. However, the following tips can give you ideas on how to create a happy relationship with child.
