Before Bringing Baby Home

Having a baby seems like so much fun - to be so exciting, that many young couples will consider this their first order of business after they marry. However, what is probably best for them and for their family-to-be is to wait. Marriage Research tell us that couples who wait five years after they marry to have their first baby will have a lot more fun than those who jump into parenthood quickly. Why? Because having a baby is the biggest change that a young couple will face in their mariage. In fact, having that first child involves so much change that many young couples – in fact as many as 70%  – say that this was the unhappiest time in their marriage. Couples who are used to spending a lot of time together, being intimate when they want to, enjoying fun activites will find that all of that changes drastically with the birth of a baby. There is no longer the freedom to go and do.  Spontaneous fun is no longer possible. Your priorities have had to change. You have a baby to care for now. If a young married couple will first enjoy their time together they have a much higher chance of having a lifetime of happy married days. Young marrieds - give yourself the time to first be a couple. To grow solid in your marriage relationship.  Get to know each other and build your relationship in the Lord – BEFORE the children come along. And believe me, one day, your children will thank you.
