Kids really change everything and that includes your relationship with your partner. Most couples usually face a series of expected and unexpected challenges once they become parents. These are a few common problems that new parents face.

How to maintain a connection with each other?

The whole rhythm of your relationship changes immediately once the baby comes. This can cause the feeling that you may grow apart, but it’s just temporarily.

You can maintain your connection by occasionally flirting and physically touching each other when you’re in the same room.

How to divide responsibilities?

It’s not easy to come up with an instant parenting plan, but after a while, you’ll be able to see which are the responsibilities that you need to take and you can divide them according to how you feel it’s right.

There is no universal plan, you’ll just have to trust your own connection with each other and conjoin forces while figuring out the most rational plan.

Lack of sleep tears you apart

Lack of sleep generally causes unstable behavior and increases levels of anxiety. But it doesn’t have to affect your relationship.

Just have in mind that it’s a temporary situation and that stress is not caused due to some substantial problems in your relationship.
