Having children is a great opportunity to grow and change. It can help put pain from your own childhood behind you and bring you closer to your own parents. It can also deepen the bond with your partner, because there’s nothing more awesome than creating a new life together. However, you do need good relationship skills and to know how to communicate effectively, even when you’re tired and stressed—in fact, especially then!
But don’t worry, Andrew Marshall has lots of practical advice and tips that will help you talk, listen to each other, and find a solution that’s acceptable to both of you. In his latest book, I Love You But…You Always Put Me Last: Why the Kids-First Approach to Parenting is Hurting Your Marriage—and the Proven Plan to Restore Balance (HCI Books—February/March 2014—$15.95), he provides information on how to foster a great relationship with your children and therefore provide good emotional support. There is specific advice at the end of each chapter on how to strengthen your relationship with your partner and finally, ten golden rules you can apply while living your busy life. Much of what Marshall discusses is based on case histories from his practice as a marriage counselor.
