Best Answer

Having a child causes many breakups within two years because it requires a couple to refocus their relationship to supporting a baby. It is difficult to maintain the romance, time spent as a couple and to cope with the time a baby requires. Most people are truly exhausted during this period. Also, there are feelings of jealousy and abandonment by the man--this calls for particular maturity and understanding since the mom is not specifically excluding him; it is just that she is hands-on caring for another and, if not given rest and space, is beyond "taking care" of the husband, too. I think that successful couples talk about this, recognize it as a fairly shortterm situation, and do the best they can to support one another. Eventually, the child becomes less needy and there is time for other things. Respite time off is wonderful if there are close family members nearby and if the time is used well, without expectation.

A good romantic spring break location for couples in March would be in a beach house but that has a nice view of the sunset.
