Keeping the bedroom alive after becoming a parent doesn't have to be difficult.
Becoming first-time parents is a profound life transition, triggering complex emotions. While it can be joyful, it also comes with significant challenges that can strain a relationship. The sudden shift in roles and responsibilities coupled with the demands of caring for a newborn often lead to less personal time for partners to connect., sexual behavior declines, especially during the third trimester, with perinatal couples experiencing lower desire and sexual satisfaction.
However, researchers found that when both partners had more positive attitudes towards touch, viewing it as a way to express affection, cope with stress, and“Affectionate touch is an important way through which partners communicate support, availability, and intimacy.
First-time parents can also incorporate more affectionate touch by prioritizing small moments of physical closeness throughout the day, such as hugs, kisses, and hand-holding, even amidst caring for their newborn.Couples can explore non-sexual forms of intimacy, such as cuddling, massages, and meaningful conversations, to maintain their connection without the pressure of sexual activity. Scheduling regular date nights or alone time away from the baby can also help rekindle romance.
First-time parents usually undergo a higher number of relationship conflicts during the perinatal period and their responses to these moments are vital to the well-being of the relationship.
