From the Publisher

Featured on Oprah and excerpted in Glamour magazine in its hardcover edition, this exploration of the positive and negative effects the birth of a child has on a marriage is based on the largest, most comprehensive study of couples entering parenthood ever conducted. After the birth of a first baby, a marriage will never be the same financially, emotionally, physically, and sexually. But is that a good thing, or a bad one? Over a seven-year period, Dr. Jay Belsky conducted a major study of 250 couples entering the world of parenthood and concluded that the blessed event makes some marriages stronger than ever, while for others the impact is supremely negative. The Transition To Parenthood explodes the myths of parenthood and marriage and provides a crucial examination of both addressing many issues. Couples will find not only answers to their many questions but also comfort in knowing that they are not alone in feeling confused during a time that they expected to be one of blissful contentment.

"A moving book...I am impressed with [Dr. Belsky's] delightful style and with the insights he brings to it."--T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.

"Will certainly help couples...deal with the Reality, and not the fantasy, of becoming parents."--Elisabeth Bing, author of Six Practical Lessons For An Easier Childbirth
