Overview

Having a newborn is real hard. But we’re here to help. 

Having a new baby is one of the most terrifying and beautiful seasons of life. There are so many questions that need answers. How will we sleep? Will we have any part of normal adulthood after? How do we get help from our in-laws without going crazy? How do we stay connected as a couple with this baby who needs everything we have to give? 

With all the parenting resources out there, there’s still nothing that helps you prepare mentally, emotionally, maritally, and spiritually for this beautiful season. And because of that, oftentimes, the health of your marriage is the first thing to go.

So that’s why Craig and Rachel Denison wrote Marital Health with a New Baby. They want to help you and your spouse build a strong, grace-filled, healthy marriage before the baby gets here, so that you are both ready to thrive and not just get by.
