Relationships do change when kids become a part of the picture—there’s no way around that. Typically, the joy and excitement that come with being a new parent outweigh the frustration or disappointment. However, the relationship tension that often comes up under this added stress cannot be ignored. Similarly, the focus on the new child is critically important, but it isn’t selfish to tend to your own needs, too.
Good parents aren’t necessarily the ones who sacrifice themselves entirely for their child, but rather the ones who know they can’t pour from an empty cup. They work to balance their own needs with their children’s to provide the very best for their entire family system.
If you are experiencing conflict or distance in your relationship after having children, couples therapy may be a beneficial option. The therapists at The Montfort Group have extensive training and expertise in helping couples communicate, maintain or regain intimacy and grow together after having children.

“And so I was going into it assuming it was going to be exhausting and tiring and taking away from my personal life that I’ve gotten comfortable with. But I was hoping I would find some enjoyment in it at the same time. And as it happened, sure enough, it was a lot to undertake and definitely pushes you to your limits.”
Hosted by Laurie Poole of The Montfort Group, this podcast pulls back the curtain on what really happens in and around the therapy room. No jargon, no perfection—just honest conversations about the messy, meaningful, and deeply human parts of life. We cover everything from burnout and boundaries to sex, shame, relationships, parenting, grief, identity shifts, and mental health in the modern world. Each episode features licensed therapists who get it—because we live it too.
