When Husband and Wife Become Mom and Dad: What Every Marriage Needs

Completing the foundational trilogy designed to meet the needs of mothers of young children, this book focuses on the changes and challenges in a marriage when a couple becomes mom and dad. The first two books are What Every Mom Needs and What Every Child Needs.

Based on 26 years of experience with parents of preschoolers and the results of 1,000 questionnaires sent to new moms and dads, this book identifies six areas of need: balance, commitment, interdependence, intimacy, mission, and hope. Elisa Morgan and Carol Kuykendall of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) International touch on the issues that most concern husbands and wives as they make the important transitions of parenthood. How do we find time and energy to regain that romantic spark? How can we function as a team? How do we share responsibilities? How should raise our children? The answers are here, together with many others, spiced with vignettes that new parents everywhere can identify with. Designed to be both discussed and applied, this book offers clarity and hope, showing how marriage embodies a relationship that can grow stronger through a lifetime of transitions. Like the whimsical mobile to which Morgan and Kuykendall liken a marriage, a husband and wife may wobble in their relationship when a child comes along. But while regaining balance takes hard work, the payoffs are worth the effort. When Husband and Wife Become Mom and Dad will kindle new vision for the creative masterpiece a marriage can become when a marriage becomes a family.
