Product Description

It happens all too often: A couple falls in love, gets married, buys a home, and then-after the fact-they discuss having a baby. At first he skirts the issue, and she knows from his body language that something is wrong; she confronts him and, lo and behold, he says the words that cause the biggest challenge their relationship has ever faced: "I'm just not ready." Maybe he doesn't know if he'll ever be ready.

If you are in this situation-or fear you could be sometime in the near future-I Want a Baby, He Doesn't has the answers. Author Donna J. Wade-a woman who has been through the trials of wanting to have children with a husband who didn't-and Liberty Kovacs, a licensed marital therapist, offer unbiased, clinical advice to help you and your partner reach the best possible resolution without destroying your relationship.

Whether a baby is in your future or not, I Want a Baby, He Doesn't is the one book you need to help you and your partner work out the issues and keep your relationship intact.
