I wish my mother had told me how having children could devastate my relationship with my husband. All my female friends and my mom just said "Oh those first years are hard" - but no one told me what the "hard" meant. What is great about this book is it gave me an "ah ha" moment where I realized what my mother and friends didn't tell me. They didn't tell me that it isn't just hard dealing with a newborn, but it is hard on my relationship because my love life went away with my husband. My "ah ha" moment was that I had put my love relationship aside and focused all my attention on my baby. This book has some great practical and good advice that helped me bring more balance to my life and helped bring back more love and sex into my relationship with my husband. I needed the love and he needed the sex to feel closer. Everything got easier when we felt closer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is THINKING about having kids because no one tells you what is really going to happen to your marriage and what you can do to plan for the chaos of raising children.

Funny, informative and easy to read, Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children is a great gift for new parents or anyone you know with kids. One of the best kept secrets is how children disrupt your relationship with your spouse. This little book gives you plenty of tips and "how to" advise to help bring the intimacy back into your life's. And a great perk...the photographs by Christophe Genty are incredibly gorgeous. WOW! Everyone I have given this book to, loves it.
