<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">"Having a first child is like throwing a hand grenade into a marriage" Those are strong words from much-quoted Nora Ephron. Do you agree? I think it is true that one of the first casualties of parenthood is our relationship with our partner. Far from cementing a relationship, the arrival of a child can drive a wedge between even the most committed couples. As a GP I often counseled frazzled, stressed-out mothers to try to regain a sense of control and to find some sort of time to connect properly with their partner. The kids don't benefit from a parent and a relationship that is not only functioning and "whole" but that is tense and falling apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">How often do you spend time alone together , either after the kids are in bed at night or during a night out? Do you have a set date night once a month or even weekly? If you don't already have a set time, can you consider how you can work this into your week? Perhaps consider who can help you achieve it - it may be family, friends, a professional child-minding service or a combination of both.

I am turning 40 next year and it has occurred to me that, all going well, I am nearly half way through my life. As the mother of a young child I got me thinking about how I want the second half of my life to me and what kind of role model I would like to be for my son. I recently had a good hard look at myself and realised that a few things needed to change.</div>
