For any married readers out there (particularly with young children), I encourage you to read this post from the babywise blog that I follow. One of the main reasons that jeff and i chose to do babywise (there are many, of course) is because it puts the focus on your marriage and not on the baby/child. We feel very strongly that this is how it should be. Lets face it... the kids wont be there to unite you forever. What will happen when they go to school and make friends? When they have lives of their own as teenagers? When they go off to college? Get married? Have kids of their own? What if the only thing you have in common through those years of bearing children are your children? It can be very easy for us to focus on Rhyan (she is pretty cute, after all...) and let our marriage simply exist. But then, i fear that at some point it would exist no longer. God instituted the marriage first followed by the blessing of children. Our priorities should be no different from His. I hope you enjoy the article!
