Being alone gives you time to learn to work as a team. [Photo/weddingdigestnaija.com] Children are a blessing. They are a beautiful addition to the family. It is also a huge responsibility to raise them. That is why unplanned parenthood is tough to deal with. Having children changes a lot in the parent's lives. It is therefore a great idea to give it time.
Marriage is a lot of work. Building a relationship is an everyday task. That is because growth happens to us each day and we need to keep up with that. Being alone as a couple for a while gives you enough time to figure out your relationship in marriage. Even if you have dated for years, marriage is a different game. There is less individualism and more togetherness in tackling matters. You need to figure out how you work as a team before the baby comes along. How you share responsibilities is important for the marriage. Once you know how to split responsibilities as two, the baby will not be too much of an adjustment. You both know how the bills gets paid, how you deal with cleaning and how busy your careers are. There is nothing wrong with spending time as a couple for a while before the responsibilities of the children pile up. It gives you more time to understand each other. Your friendship solidifies a little more. Look at it this way, there is only the two of you. Anything that needs to be handled must be handled since there is no one else to talk to in the house. Both of you learn how good you are together.
