Put the sizzle back into your relationship!  
  
If marriage and parenting leave you feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. Most couples feel the way you do after children arrive. But don't let the care you give your children prevent you from caring for each other. Instead, keep your marriage healthy--and your children happy--by making your spouse your top priority.  
  
Dr. Willard Harley gives you the tools you need to meet two important goals: staying in love and helping your children thrive. He offers expert advice on things like:  
  
romance as essential in marriage  
meeting intimate emotional needs  
agreeing on values and child-training methods  
finding time for everything that's important  
dividing household tasks fairly  
and much more  
  
The pressures of parenthood don't have to take a toll on your relationship. You can have it all--happy children and a thriving marriage.
