More Than a Baby Daddy
You’re pregnant. Got there together, nights of passion. Now confused about the long term commitment that raising a family requires.
For Guys the excitement of knowing your son or daughter is on the way but the relationship with your lover has changed.
For Gals, the excitement of knowing your son or daughter is on the way but the relationship with your lover has changed.
Change brings conflict. Wow, pregnancy is change on steroids.
The dance of your relationship changes. Timing is off. Toes get stepped on. You trip over each other. Dancing around the issues becomes painful. Togetherness becomes strained, fights, anger, distance settle in. Where is the rule book on how to discuss the conflict? What is the process to use the love investment in the relationship to overcome challenges and thrive together?
Realistically, this life is full of conflict, you can’t get away from it. It doesn’t have to tear relationships apart, however. Both of you can learn relationship skills to discover how to transform the conflict into opportunity to bring you closer together. Think about the conflicts facing a football team. They train, prepare, learn from the past games then run out on to the field together. Everyone on the team has strengths and weaknesses but together they harness the energy that beats the odds. They win or lose together, but they stay together.
A good relationship is one that unpeels the strengths, weaknesses, desires and emotions of each partner. When conflict is present skills are needed to avoid the landmines and face the challenge together. No blame, just team work, commitment, forgiveness….love.
After each conflict is resolved you win together. You know what worked, what didn’t.
You ready for the next game…..for the rest of your life.
