Quote of the Week

"Love is not about how many days, months, or years you have been together. It's all about how well you understand, support, and respect each other every single day."

  • Research studies have shown that couples who have a child together experience a decrease in marital satisfaction for the first few years after the birth. This dip in happiness is often attributed to the challenges of adjusting to new roles, lack of sleep, and increased responsibilities that come with parenting.


  • Surprisingly, studies have found that couples with a higher number of children tend to report higher levels of marital satisfaction. This counterintuitive finding suggests that having more children might actually bring couples closer together, giving them a shared purpose and stronger emotional bond.


  • According to a study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, fathers who are more involved in parenting tend to have lower testosterone levels compared to those fathers who are less involved. This indicates that active fatherhood may bring about hormonal changes that enhance nurturing and caregiving behaviors.
