Como reinventar o casamento quando os filhos nascem

by Gary Chapman

A criação de filhos é um empreendimento conjunto que exige comunicação, compreensão, amor e disposição de assumir um compromisso. Casais que não desenvolvem essas atitudes e habilidades antes do nascimentodos filhos não podem acreditar que as assimilarão de uma hora para outra, assim que o primeiro bebê nascer. Gary Chapman vai ajudar você e seu cônjuge a descobrir como lidar com problemas comuns e como manter a solidez de seu casamento após a chegada das crianças.

Os primeiros meses do casamento são necessários para adaptação de ambos. Estilos de vida, gostos, manias e idiossincrasias precisam ser acomodados para que seja possível viver a dois. Não é necessariamente um processo fácil, mas pelo menos é possível dedicar-se exclusivamente ao outro, afinando a sintonia da relação. Mas, ainda que o casamento já esteja razoavelmente consolidado, quando o primeiro filho chega, parece que o casal precisa começar do zero, novamente. Novos papéis e novas prioridades são um duro teste para a solidez do relacionamento. Compreensivelmente, a atenção de ambos passa a voltar-se para o bebê, e, aos poucos, um já não dá atenção ao outro. Como alguém tão especial é capaz de trazer tantos desafios à relação conjugal? Gary Chapman conhece as dificuldades e está disposto a ajudá-lo a reinventar o casamento, para que todos desfrutem da alegria que é fazer parte de uma família.

A really good, short read with powerful, concrete examples of actions to improve your marriage

[Andre Luiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Um livro objetivo, simples e assertivo. Orientações práticas e muito úteis para casais que tem se visto mais como pais e ajudantes do lar, do que marido e mulher

[Marcus Goncalves · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very basic guide for new parents on how to keep the marriage and parenting in balance. Good practical questions and ideas at the end of each chapter, but if you’re read any of Chapman’s book, very little will be new to you here.

O melhor do livro é a brevidade.. hahaha.. ele sabe mesmo que não é mais possível sentar e ler o que quer que seja sem que alguém esteja chorando, berrando ou chamando "mamãe, mamãe, mamãe!"...

Believe it or not, this is the first time that I had the chance to read a book that is authored by world-renowned author Gary Chapman. Although I've heard a lot about his outstanding book the 5 Love Languages that has later gotten a lot of sequels, I've never really had a chance to read any of his books until now.

My father gifted me with the book last March, when I told him about some of my struggles of raising a special child. Despite the fact that the book is not entirely intended for that struggle, it still touches on some parenting struggles we all may have encountered, although mine would be entirely different as it doesn't really tackle anything about raising special children.

The book NOW WHAT? is really intended for couples who recently had children and are feeling that the romance part of their marriage is starting to fizzle out. It covers a lot of discussion points along with money and physical and emotional intimacy, factors that are very much relevant to all couples - be they newly wed or long married.

It is a truly insightful read that is best to be read together as a couple, although that would be shooting for the moon for some people. On the other hand, if like me, you read the book first before your better half, you are of course expected to make the first move in terms of removing the rubble and building your love anew. So I'll see how it goes for me.

I am truly grateful for my dad for giving me this book and I look forward to getting hold of Mr. Chapman's other books.
