75. What to Do When a Baby Turns Your Relationship Upside Down

Before you can succeed at parenting, you must first succeed as a couple. Today’s episode is for all the new parents, soon-to-be parents, or wanna-be future parents like myself. 

Today is an exciting day because I have not one but two guests joining me on the show. Kara Hoppe and Dr. Stan Tatkin join us on the show to discuss their new book Baby Bomb: A relationship survival guide for new parents. Baby Bomb is the resource you need when a new baby turns your life—and your romantic relationship—upside down. 

Today we're chatting about... 

• How you and your partner can co-parent and co-partner as a solid and supportive team— while also cultivating mad love for each other
• Why Stan and Kara wrote Baby Bomb
• How a secure-functioning relationship is essential for raising happy, healthy kids
• Why it’s important to put the relationship before baby
• What couples can do when a new baby turns their life upside down
• Why babies don’t save marriages
• The importance of letting your partner know they are a priority
• Why it’s a benefit to step back as a new mom and receive care 
• How to communicate your needs better to your partner
• What to do when you're jealous of your own baby
• How to keep intimacy alive after baby
• The importance of meeting your own individual needs
• Grieving your pre-baby life
• Why it’s important your relationship is in good shape before baby
