The transition to parenting can put a strain on couple relationships. Research has shown that two-thirds of couples experience precipitous declines in relationship satisfaction in the years following a child's birth. The psychologists at the Gottman Institute in Washington created the Bringing Baby Home workshop in order to inoculate couples for the experience. It is an empirically-validated protocol that has been shown to improve relationship satisfaction and decrease the chance of divorce. I am trained and certified in the Bringing Baby Home method, and offer expecting couples a ten-session workshop in the privacy of my office. More information is available upon request.
