  Think What to Expect When Youre Expecting for your romantic relationship. This workshop is designed to benefit parents expecting their first child, or folks in the fourth trimester. It is also great if youre expecting a second or third child and would like a relationship reset or greater preparation for your romantic bond as you enter new parenthood again.

  You have the high-def monitor, the foam bumpers for furniture, and three kinds of safety gates, but what about protection for your relationship?
  New parenthood can be a fast-track to disconnection and dissatisfaction. The lack of sleep, intimacy, and time to yourself, and the added responsibility for one or more other lives, is quite likely to grab your shoulders and give a firm shake to your romantic foundation, exacerbate any previous issues, and bring new ones to the surface. Millions of new parents experience these same dynamics every day.But while this is the norm, there is a way to prepare yourselves to stay strong, stable, and connected through this turbulent time.

  Through a combination of education, sharing, and discussion, this course guides you through the most important and impactful information about dynamics you’ll face, what you’ll want to understand about yourself and each other, and conversations you need to have in advance of the baby arriving. It even includes written resources and checklists to make sure you have everything handled and reminders in place. It provides everything you need so you can love parenthood without sacrificing your relationship.
