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?
Question Feedback: New parents suffer terribly from sleep deprivation. The stress, dramatic increase in responsibilities, and lack of sleep cause considerable strain on new parents and their marriage.
Explanation / Answer
Yes, there are some reasons for the discontent caused amongst couples somewhere around three years of the birth of a baby. The reasons are mentioned below-
1. Dramatic increase in responsibilities- Either when a person is unmarried or even in case of newly married couples without the first child (refered as empty nest), the responsibilities are lesser. After the biorth of the first baby, the scene changes because of factors like, feeding, taking care, hospitalization, vaccinations, emotional involvement, no fixed schedule/ time table of a child etc.
2. Sleep- The frequency, uniformaity, regularity and soundness of one's sleep depends upon the waking timings of the baby born. Therefore life may not turn to be a planned one for a few years.
3. Extent of understanding of the couple- The changing role of the couple in the form of father and mother takes some time to adjust and there may be a lack of co ordination, communication between the couple. Expectations from each of the spouse will increase. Hence, finally it turns into a marriage with no contentment.
