JAKARTA - The problem of marriage after the presence of a baby is common. However, it can cause prolonged stress in a marriage relationship if it is not properly cared for. There are various challenges that you didn't even realize before that you had to face. Here are seven general problems of post-child marriage and solutions to solve them, reported by the Times of India, Tuesday, April 11.

New parents often experience sleep loss due to the demand to care for newborns. Lack of sleep can cause a person to become easily angry, change in mood, and stress, so they tend to affect marriage in a negative sense. To overcome this problem, parents can take turns taking turns taking care of their babies at night, asking for help from family or friends, or renting someone to take care of their baby for several hours to sleep.

The presence of a baby can interfere with the couple's daily routine, making it difficult to find time for each other. In order not to lose time together, you and your partner can schedule night dates, prioritize activities together, and communicate each other's needs and hopes.

With the addition of responsibility as a parent, your partner may have less time to communicate with each other, which can lead to misunderstandings and hatred. To improve communication, couples can set aside time each day talking to each other, express their own feelings and needs, and work together to find solutions to the problem.

The cost of raising children can burden your partner's finances, cause stress and quarrels. To manage financial pressure, couples can make a budget, plan unexpected expenses, and prioritize their expenses.

Caring for a baby can be a full-time job, and couples may find it difficult to share their responsibilities fairly. To ensure fair division of tasks, couples can communicate their expectations, schedule, and ask for help when needed.

The presence of babies can lead to changes in partner intimacy, such as major changes in sexual activity or loss of physical intimacy altogether. To maintain intimacy, couples can set aside time, communicate their needs and desires, and seek counselor assistance if needed.
