Having kids can bring big changes to marriages and partnerships. Motherly’s got you covered with support and advice from real mamas.
Baby's arrival can change your relationship for the better, not worse!
I'm so proud of you, and I'm proud of what we're building together every day.
We all look to our moms with gratitude for everything they do…
When it's beautiful and inspiring, when it's hard and tiring, when it's fun and adventurous, when it's mundane and monotonous.
We need to find another way of being in a relationship that does not involve abandoning our needs.
Because motherhood can sometimes be this all-consuming thing that leaves me with next to nothing left to give anyone else.
On a good day, love can be challenging. In a good month, even more so. But what about if we are talking longer?
I choose you no matter what life throws at us.
Just because you don't feel like a night out on the town doesn't mean you can't still celebrate with the one you love.
It’s not a fairy tale, and this isn’t the end, but it feels pretty happy after all.
For most of us, listening without getting defensive is a hard skill to master—especially when we're overwhelmed.
The longer I parent, the more I see that there is seldom a right and wrong way of doing things.
We shared a lot of love for our sweeties this year, mamas. ?
I love you today for who you are and I’ll love you tomorrow for the woman you will be. ❤️
Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say.
Be clear about both when you need help and what you need help with.
5. Give each other some leeway... and tenderness
I need your long, warm hug after a draining day of messes and meltdowns, dirty diapers and dishes.
Role modeling is one of the most powerful tools you have in guiding your child.
I couldn’t take a single second more of anyone being in physical contact with me. I was touched out.
