Becoming a parent is a life-changing experience, and like all major changes parenthood can also be a major source of strain. Studies show that four out of five relationships are negatively affected by the demanding first year of a child s life. A common myth is that becoming parents brings completion to relationships, and with couples often compelled to show that they can cope, problems may not be addressed until it is too late. But stressed-out parents no longer need to feel so alone. No Sex Please, We're Parents offers practical ideas to help them get some normality back into their lives and restore their relationship. It also offers commonsense advice on how to do what's best for you and the children, if relationships can't be mended.
