Marriage After Baby:
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Becoming parents is supposed to bring you closer… but if we’re honest, most couples hit a wall.

  • The mental load gets heavier.

  • Arguments pop up more often (sometimes over the tiniest things).

  • You start to feel more like roommates than partners.

  • Intimacy feels… different (or gone).

If you’ve caught yourself thinking, “Wasn’t this supposed to feel better than this?” — you’re not alone.

We’re Chelsea + Mike, and we help couples strengthen their marriage after a baby. Through coaching, conversation tools, and real-time support.
We guide couples from surviving to actually enjoying each other again.

Why Does Marriage Feel So Hard After Baby?

The truth is: it’s not just you.
Research shows marital satisfaction drops dramatically in the first few years after having a child. Why?

  • Exhaustion: Sleep deprivation makes small things feel huge.

  • Invisible Labor: One partner often carries the mental load while the other doesn’t see it.

  • Different Coping Styles: One wants to talk it out right now, the other needs space. Cue: arguments.

  • Identity Shifts: You’re both trying to figure out who you are now—as individuals and as parents.

It’s a lot. And most couples don’t talk about it until it feels like too much.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis. With the right conversations and tools, your marriage can thrive through parenthood.

What We Do

Postpartum Together was built on one simple belief:
Your relationship deserves as much care as your baby.

We help couples:

  • Untangle the mental load so resentment doesn’t build.

  • Learn how to argue better (because fights are normal, but how you fight matters).

  • Rebuild intimacy and connection when you feel more like co-parents than lovers.

  • Shift from roommates back to teammates.

You don’t need to read 20 parenting books or fake it through date nights that don’t work. You need conversations that actually change how you show up together every day.

👉 Book your free connection call to start the shift.


Real Talk: This Is Possible

Imagine…

  • Walking through an argument and actually feeling heard.

  • Sharing the invisible mental load without nagging or blow-ups.

  • Feeling like partners, not just “mom and dad.”

  • Laughing again. Touching again. Remembering why you chose each other.

That’s what we do here. It’s not magic. It’s not overnight. But it’s real, and it works.
