Some parents say there's nothing better in life than having a child. When we had our first baby it was really a big blessing to our family, it is a precious gift to us. How does having baby changed your married life?

Well for me it didn't really change anything, although I loved it, but for me my other half meaning the husband its wasn't special. Its a child, who he could not commit to, the love between the husband wife doesn't change sometimes. How often do you see a husband change the child's nappy, clean them, feed them.
But for those who have had a child, well i have seen the love increases even more between the couple, they bond with the child a lot, more commitments are made and responsibilities are shared.

As a good friend of ours has put it, "Getting married is no big deal, no big change. It is when you start having kids that you realize that your life is gone. So when you've got one, you might just as well have more, because it is ruined anyway."

He was kidding, of course. He is an excellent father of 4 wonderful girls. But I think there is some truth to what he said. Your life can't go on as "your life" after kids show up. Every step, every little decision you make has to consider them. Your life is no longer your own.

Having a child has tied me to my husband in knots I never anticipated. I would have separated with him a long time ago if my son did not intervene. My son was about 8 or 9 years old at that time, and he is now 18. Now, that he is older and wiser, he says I could break the ties with my husband if I wish to. Such things, a child can do to a breaking marriage.

My married life changed me a lot, i was notorious & stylish before marriage, but now calm and simple, and became more responsible after having a kid as i becme a mother, yes, we need to have changes in our lives, as the routine life is boring and won't be having thrill in it. Motherhood is a blessing for women, and have to take it easy.

My sister have 3 kids. Her life is different now. She always thinks of them instead of herself. The family is her priority and she works hard for it. She is very fortunate to have a loving husband also. I wonder, would the husband prefer to bond with their kids or with their wife?

Having a baby certainly changes your married life. There is no more just going out whenever you feel like it. There is the extra expenses that come along with a baby. There is getting up in the middle of the night, which leads to lack of sleep, which leads to grumpiness at times.
I am not saying that it is all negative~ babies are a blessing. They can either strengthen your marriage, or in some cases make them break. It all depends on the parents and how they relate to each other.

I think a lot depends on whether both parents are prepared for the challenge. Of course, you can nver be fully prepared, especially with your first child; no matter how much you read, you just don't know what it is actually like. But if both parents are committed to work through the sudden challenges, they should be fine.

Well it definitely changes any couples lives. Especially when a baby is born you almost forget the pain of labor by the time you see and touched your own child.

having children is what every couple wishes for. The factor that really changed for me is priority. Kids are our number 1 priority, the love and important things they need. my husband is so understanding that he is so responsible yet gives his children the love and quality time they need.

the fact that our house is really a mess everyday because of our kids, its really a happy a place and we enjoy playing with the kids. my date with my husband is not just for the two of us, it is always the two of us and the kids ... no regret at all, i love my kids so much

In my case when we had our first one, I think it brought me and my hubby more closer, we felt special and new that both of use have brought something into this world and its ours. Sometimes its a feeling that can not be explained.

Having a child in a married life, just completes the family. Like they say it becomes a big round complete circle.

Having a baby is without a doubt the most awesome blessing bestowed on my wife and I. However, it does change the relationship. We will never be just two anymore. Time spent together has to be further divided, and part of our focus has changed. We sometimes get lost in responsibility and routine, and have to remind ourselves to make time for the simple things, for each other. But we would'nt trade life with our daughter for anything.
