Are you part of the 67% of couples whose marital satisfaction plummeted once you had children?
Many people get married because they want to have children and think marriage provides a strong foundation for a family. But, having children can put this strong belief to the test.

Writer and mom, Hannah Southerland, reveals some very important and, often simple, ways to keep your marriage going once you become a parent.
