Whether you are wild about having children or wary, a child can change your marriage. How did your marriage change after the arrival of your child? Now, your turn!

I already had 2 children from a previous marriage when David and I got married, so I didn't think it would make a difference having a third. Boy was I wrong!

Having an infant made planning events more difficult. Of course we added lack of sleep to our plates as well as more stress.

Now that he is 10 things are starting to get easier - he is much more independent, so we don't have to huddle over him as much and it frees up our time to be with each other as a couple.

We had a child immediately after we married and people might think that it didn't give us a chance to enjoy being just a couple since we weren't engaged but a few months before the wedding.

But having a child, for us at least, greatly enhanced our relationship. Our children are the living, breathing, walking embodiments of our love.

Sometimes when we fight and think that it would be easier to split, we are reminded that the love we have for each other is far more important than petty differences. Our children are the proof of our love. For some, kids are the product of sexual reproduction but in our case, we really brought them forth out of absolute love.

Chelle.....as much as they are blessings, children are a lot of work. It is good that you can reconnect more with your husband now.

Thanks for popping by, Debbie. smile

There are no guarantees how children will turn out or how they will affect a marriage. I've seen some very troubling situations over parenting and children who cause a lot of heartache, even trauma.
