Contrary to the age old belief that having kids marks the completion of a family as children bring their partners closer,a new study reveals that having children can send marital bliss in a downward spiral. Blame it on additional responsibilities hat parents face or the sacrifices that bringing up a child demands, parents often get over burdened with the entry of a new member.Have your marital joys sharply plummeted after your baby was born? Or did the birth of your bundle of joy strengthen your marriage even more as you worked together towards his upbringing? Does having children denote the end of marital contentment?

I think it is all in the emotional security you share with your partner. I have nerver thought that any of my children ( I have 3 ) were ever a burden. They are all a joy my husband and I share as well as a responsability that we also share. There are good and bad in everything and in every situation but if you have a strong stable relationship with your partner before children there would be no reason it would be bad after children.

Being a mom of multiples I have to say that it has def added a tremendous amount of stress and strain on our marriage and relationship. It is harder for the two of us to get away and do thing son our on. We argue over discipline etc. It is difficult at times. We have made an effort to put each other first and to focus more on one another. it is difficult at times.
