You know that your life will change after having a baby. However, you may have been surprised how your marriage relationship, as well as sex, changed after you became parents.
Before you became parents, your marriage was probably much easier. You were more spontaneous since you did not have to get a babysitter or worry about the kids walking in on you. There was more time and energy for each other and for sex. Then the blessed baby came along and your entire relationship changed.
Life can now be divided into two chapters. Chapter one is life before children, and chapter two is life after children. Your entire existence was transformed the day you became parents. Even your leisure activities have changed.
Chapter 1: Before Children You:
Stayed up late making love
Spent Saturday mornings "making out"
Wore sexy lingerie
Smelled like perfume or cologne
Visited quaint bed & breakfasts
Chapter 2: After Having Children You:
Stay up late feeding the baby
Spend Saturday mornings watching Mickey Mouse cartoons
Wear flannel pajamas
Smell like baby spit-up
Visit McDonald's for breakfast
