Of all the questions expectant parents ask themselves, the most crucial is the one most often overlooked: "How are we going to make sure we don′t cheat ourselves–or our child–of what made our relationship special in the first place?" After all, a strong and vibrant marriage is one of the best gifts you can give to your child.
There have been many books on improving your marriage and many others on parenting, but precious few on how to nurture the relationship between the two of you as you undergo the joys, surprises, and pressures of having a child. Becoming Parents offers a fresh approach to expectant and new parent education and is based on the latest research on what makes happy, healthy marriages. Whether you are becoming parents through birth, adoption, or foster parenting, this wonderfully practical guide will enable you to confront the challenges of parenthood while keeping the friendship, intimacy, and fun alive. You will discover how to:
· Share the joy and the work
· Survive the stress and fatigue
· Anticipate and prepare for lifestyle changes
· Identify and communicate your needs and expectations
· Expand your support network
· Balance work and family responsibilities
If you are planning a new arrival in your home, this is the book for you.
Becoming Parents is based on Pamela Jordan′s innovative Becoming Parents Program (BPP) which includes the highly acclaimed Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP®), as presented in the best–selling book Fighting for Your Marriage.

Based on scientific research and containing real–life examples, Becoming Parents challenges you to seize this opportunity to really thrive in your relationship and in parenting together as a team.
