Book Reviews of Babyproofing Your Marriage: How to Laugh More, Argue Less, and Communicate Better as Your Family Grows

Book Review: Easy to read but a bit repetitive
Summary: 3 Stars

My mommy book club chose this book by my suggestion and I have to say I ended up a bit disappointed. On the positive side, it was easy to read and it had a lot of humor woven in and that was enjoyable. The thing I disliked most was that some parts were very repetitive and some chapters seemed drawn out unnecessarily. I think the authors also tended to over-generalize when comparing men and women.

Summary of Babyproofing Your Marriage: How to Laugh More, Argue Less, and Communicate Better as Your Family Grows

The Babyproofers are three women who wouldn't trade their roles as mothers for anything, and they love their husbands deeply. But after living through it and hearing the stories of hundreds of other couples, they know that with young children in the house, you need to block the stairs with baby gates, put plastic covers over the outlets, AND take the necessary steps to safeguard your marriage.

Babyproofing Your Marriage is the warts-and-all truth about how having children can affect your relationship. The transition to parenthood can be a tough adjustment for any couple, but the good news is: you are not alone. Better yet, there are hundreds of simple but effective ways you can stay connected as husband and wife and still be good parents. The authors' evenhanded approach to both sides of the marital equation allows spouses to understand each other in a whole new way. With loads of humor, compassion, and practical advice, the Babyproofers will guide first-time parents and veterans alike around the rocky shores of the early parenting years.
