Babyproofing Your Marriage: Here’s What They’re Saying So Far
If you’re like most married/partnered parents, then you’ve probably wondered what the heck happened to your relationship since having children. And we’re not just talking about the search for your libido.
Thanks to authors Stacie Cockrell, Cathy O’ Neill, and Julia Stone, you won’t have to wonder any longer. Their new book “Babyproofing Your Marriage” just might have the answers you’re looking for. Aimed at both men and women, this helpful book is aimed at making the transition from couple to family just a little easier.
And from what we can tell so far, it’s definitely worth the purchase. In fact, it swayed even our most skeptical of bloggers. “I didn’t want to like it. I pretty much thought I knew all I needed to. We’ve made it ten years and have three kids. I was a little smug, in fact. And then I started reading.”
Check out what our other Parent Bloggers have to say so far:
You won’t find any finger shaking or scolding in this book, nor will it take you until your child is in college to finish. The bloggers enjoyed the personal tone and humorous touches. ”This book is not filled with revolutionary ideas that will change your life, rather it provides gentle suggestions on how to think about challenges that every family faces in a different way.” “The authors use their own voices, humour and experiences to create a dialogue that’s easy (and fun) to read.“ ”The parts of the book I enjoyed the most were the personal quotes sprinkled throughout. They are little gems that remind us we’re not alone in this journey to keep our marriages alive and interesting, while, at the same time, creating loving families.”
The bloggers also loved how it was equally directed towards men and women. ”It took reading it in a book to make it clear in my head that it is harmful to our marriage for me to do that.“ ”I didn’t expect it, but the book did make me think about all the stuff that [my spouse] DOES do without being asked.” “The authors seemed to take great care to give equal time and treatment to “the other side” - which in this case would be, ah, the men. This book is not an exercise in male-bashing.”

I do not know what the big fuss is about baby proofing your marriage. My husband and I have been married almost 4 years(June). We have a almost 9 month old son and when we decided to get pregnant we had a talk regarding not letting our marriage be put on the back burner. We always go out 1-2 days out of the month just the two of us. We realize that yes we are parents but our marriage came first in this equation and it will continue to come first. Luckly, we have parents that are first time grandparents and love to spend time with him 1-2 times a month. They get that that one on one time together with him. We believe happy marriage makes happy parents. The big thing is our son is on a schedule and therefore goes to bed a 9pm and after that we get our time together. Oh, we still have a great sex life also.
I’ve heard alot about this book already. Sounds like a good one. I’ll be interested to hear what everyone says on the 15th.
