After the birth a baby emotional intimacy is especially
strong. There is something about having a tiny precious human, which you as a
couple created that brings a new form of closeness never experienced before.
The baby brings a new sense of strength and understanding the
relationship. Instead of sexual activity
love is expressed by showing commitment to the family. After the birth of a child there is a lack of
sexual activity that is natural so the mother can have time to physically heal.
It is important to take this time to enjoy each others company and the joy of
being new parents. Talk to each other about the fears and joys of being
parents. While the baby is sleeping, take time to take care of yourselves,
sometimes this just means having ten minutes to take a shower. And take care of
your relationship. While you aren’t focused on physical intimacy, use the time
to rekindle your love for one another, and your new found love for your baby.
