There’s no question that you love your husband as much as you love being a mom, but there’s also no denying that parenthood can be pretty tough on a marriage. Since you had children, do you and your spouse see things differently? Do you find yourselves arguing about things like your in-laws, division of responsibilities, or the void in your sex life? Filled with lots of humor and practical advice, “Babyproofing Your Marriage” can help you reconnect with your spouse, so that having kids doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your relationship.

Co-authors Stacie Cockrell, Cathy O’Neill and Julia Stone know how important it is to nurture a marriage after a baby is born. In “Babyproofing,” these three women explore the transition to parenthood in light of their own experiences, with input from their husbands and thoughts from couples across the country. From avoiding the “10 o’clock shoulder tap” to remembering the three A’s (appreciation, acknowledgment, and affirmation), “Babyproofing” has several useful, upbeat suggestions to help you and your spouse reach greater marital harmony. One mom says, “[This book] had a profound impact on how I think about marriage and parenthood, which will ultimately make me a better parent and a better spouse.”

“Babyproofing Your Marriage” is an invaluable read. It will teach you how to laugh more, argue less, and communicate better as your family grows.
