What a fabulous resource this is! Not just for new mom's, but for moms of many, and one-day-to-be-moms. This is not just about little book about dealing with dad, as one more thing to be tackled when there is a new baby, but really a useful device for all around good tips for marriage in a family. Each chapter and every page is filled with quotes and tips and tidbits from experienced moms and dads who share their mistakes and breakthroughs with readers. Learn from their mistakes, instead of making them yourself! I highly recommend this little book and I cannot wait to dive into some of the other titles available through MOPS from Susan Besze Wallace and Monica Reed.

Great resource and some helpful stuff in this book. Just because baby comes into the world, I am still a mother AND wife and my husband has needs too!! We all have to adjust to this crazy new world we call life!

Another helpful resource that I will hopefully remember once Evan makes his appearance!

Decent little book about marriage after baby, and it's not as condescending to dads as its title might imply. The title bugs me; the book did not.

Really easy (and fun!) to read... Lots of really good and very practical advice for new moms (not all related to 'dealing with' your husband, but it was very helpful)
