Publisher's Summary

Having a baby is a joyous experience, but even the best relationships are strained during the transition from duo to trio. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework, and new fiscal concerns often lead to conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings. In And Baby Makes Three, Love Lab™ experts John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman teach couples the skills from their successful workshops, so partners can avoid the pitfalls of parenthood by:

  • Maintaining intimacy and romance
  • Replacing a culture of criticism and irritability with one of appreciation
  • Preventing postpartum depression
  • Creating a home environment that nurtures physical, emotional, and mental health as well as cognitive and behavioral development for your baby

Complete with exercises that separate the "master" from the "disaster" couples, And Baby Makes Three helps new parents positively manage the strain that comes along with their bundle of joy.

kids or no? I'd recommend this relationship book

this is a great reference for anyone in a relationship. although about how to live and love together it's full of activities and check points on how you can work at strengthening your bond with your partner, with kids or even without. purchased because I don't really want kids and my partner really does, I wanted it to give me hope and the necessary tools for our relationship to survive if we do have kids.

Definitely recommend for this season of life.

Overall, lots of good applicable information. Will definitely use some of it. Some of the examples could be updated so they’re less stereotypical. The lists and self tests would be better understood and completed with the hard copy.
