Abstract
Children influence adults in numerous ways. Consider the couple who welcome their first healthy child into the world. Their lives are changed dramatically. One parent may have to leave a job to stay at home and provide necessary care for the infant. The parents’sleep patterns will be disrupted for several months, and each spouse will have less time and energy for the other. This can strain the marital relationship, for in coping with the demands of caring for the infant the spouses must make major adjustments in the quantity and quality of time spent with each other (Barton & Alexander, 1980; Glenn & McLanahan, 1982).
