Wonder weeks, aka fight with DH weeks

Petunia844 · December 2012

I swear every time I notice DH and I are bickering, especially involving nighttime/bed time...I look it up and sure enough it's a wonder week. Gah...I'm not sure how families have more than two kids! I love DS dearly, but it requires a lot of effort to maintain the amazing peaceful relationship I had with my hubby sometimes. We have an amazing relationship, we supported each other through the loss of our son when so many couples turn on each other during loss...but for the first time in about 7 years of being together it feels like work to keep our relationship strong. If you are a STM or your babe is older...does that part get easier? Or will my marriage feel a little more like work from now on? I don't want it to sound like we fight constantly now, it's just every few weeks we seem to hit a rough patch and we NEVER used to argue, so it's hard for me.

We share 2 from previous relationships and just added ours to the mix. Things have changed, because an infant is a lot more work than our older kids. It is so important to make time for each other. Date nights when you can even if it's just escaping the house for a few hours and going to have fast food together without a diaper bag ;]

It does get easier, older children require less sleepless nights...usually. Try not to wish this time away though, enjoy your LO while he's little. I know it can be tough sometimes, but it goes so fast!
