Question

The Gottmans explain that about two-thirds of parents say that they are not content with their marriage three years after the birth of their baby. According to the Gottmans, what factors contribute to this discontent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The birth of a baby causes stress, increased responsibility and even sleep deprivation. Which makes new parents unhappy about many points in their lives, including marriage.

Explanation:

The arrival of a baby is accompanied by difficult and stressful days. The baby increases the responsibility of the new parents who, besides having to take care of the baby, need to take care of the house, the housework, work, pay bills, among other things. Stress at this time can take high levels and make parents sad, tired and unhappy with their lives. All this trouble and tiredness begins to take hold of many areas in the life of new parents, including marriage. Therefore we can say that it is not uncommon that many parents are not content with marriage three years after the birth of the baby.
