And Baby Makes Three

By John Gottman, PhD & Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD

And Baby Makes Three focuses on one of the biggest adjustments that comes with welcoming a baby: learning how to become parents while continuing to nurture your relationship as a couple. Drawing on the Gottmans’ relationship research, the book offers practical strategies for managing conflict, strengthening friendship and appreciation, maintaining intimacy, and navigating the new responsibilities and stresses that accompany parenthood.

With exercises and concrete tools couples can work through together, it can be a particularly useful resource for expecting and new parents who want to approach this transition as a team and build a strong foundation for their growing family.
