Can a baby bring a couple together in some cases ?

Question

My husband and I were having issues before we had our daughter. I really was afraid that that might end things because I always hear having a baby is stressful to a healthy couple so what will happen to a couple that has issues already. To my surprise our daughter has been a huge blessing to us. Aside from bringing us so much joy, she is actually bringing us together, we are working well to raise her. And even when we have arguments, in the end we just come together quickly because she will do something funny or she may need to be changed etc. anyone has had similar experience ?

Answer

A baby is like a band aid. They cover the issue and can’t keep it covered for long before it falls off.

Answer

No. Babies do not fix anything. They make relationships harder and the issues more prevalent

Answer

Until she grows up a bit and starts having meltdowns because she wants to wear the same shirt for a 5th day in a row or because she’s decided that she hates shoes or something. 
A baby didn’t fix your relationship. Don’t put that on a baby. 
A baby gave you and your partner a common cause. Now get to some counseling to do the real work of making this relationship better.

Answer

I'd recommend couples counseling even if you feel like your relationship has improved. Counseling can only make it better. Inevitably it won't be sunshine and rainbows forever. So put the work in before you need it again

Answer

I’m going to disagree with a lot of women here. My boyfriend and I, at the time, Got pregnant two months into dating. The pregnancy was very rocky, the relationship went down the drain, everything that could go wrong went wrong. As soon as our daughter was born my husband truly turned the page and  became a wonderful man. He grew up. A lot. It was the best change I’ve ever seen in my life. We still talk about how his daughter made him a better man. We are now married, have been together for 5 year, and have another baby on the way.

Answer

Im having trouble wording my response. Lol. I want to say yes but no. I would never recommend it for anyone and I’d question anyone who thinks their baby will fix their relationship issues. But I do not think my current relationship would be where it is without our daughter. I don’t think we’d be together at all. I got pregnant only four months into our relationship and neither of us were really super committed. But after finding out I was pregnant and deciding to keep the baby and raise her, we realized we had to be adults and take things more seriously. And from doing all of that together, I do think it brought us a lot closer together because we obviously haven’t experienced that with anyone else. We really bonded over the difficulties from having to buy our first home, to my struggle with ppd, and just generally figuring out how to navigate our new lives.

Answer

Everyone says having a baby changed them, but no one seems to think a baby can change a relationship. I’d have to disagree. My baby has positively impacted my relationship ship and having her has changed us both and our mindsets. Having a baby has also drastically helped the relationship I have with my mil and has changed relationships I have with some friends. A baby definitely can change any relationship.

Answer

A baby doesn't fix shit, neither does a ring.

Answer

A baby can bring down even a good marriage, so without a solid foundation a baby is likely to only make a bad relationship worse.

Answer

For some people yes, for others no. Seriously analyze the situation you are in before you make any sudden choices. What works for others might not work for you.
