How has having Baby #2 affected your marriage?

Question

Please be honest, and feel free to explain your reasons in the comments.

Answer

Having a baby always puts a strain on our marriage. Not everyone has this problem but we definitely do. We have this problem because my husband wakes my attention to and he hates when I'm tired, behind on laundry or he had to worry about dinner.  Those sort of things cause tension after a year or so we get back on track and love everything about having kids...

Answer

Having the first baby and then a second opened my eyes to my ex husband's abusive ways.
I am now pregnant with baby number 4, husband's second biological baby, and our marriage is stronger. I am so much in love with him I can't stop staring at him sometimes. Yes sex is less than before but it will pick back up after baby is born and I'm healed up. He understands that I'm in pain most of the time. But I feel his love for me in everything we do. I pushed myself too hard today nesting and having dinner ready for when he got home that my sciatica flared up to where I couldn't walk. He helped me back to the lazy boy (baby girl helped too lol she was pushing on my good leg to help me walk) and finished making dinner.
Long after dinner and I felt better we put baby girl to bed. After telling her good night and setting the timer on the space heater (older two are at their dad's for the weekend if you are wondering) he cornered me and made me feel wanted and sexy when I was feeling shitty from the pain and all. I'm sore now but it's that delicious soreness that is relaxing ya know?
I'm so lucky to have such a loving, understanding husband. Even though this baby wasn't planned we are just as strong as ever if not stronger together. Dreams of being the loving old couple with lots of grandchildren run through my unconscious thoughts...
