Marriage is different once you have kids, would you agree? Raising a family requires a lot of sacrifice from both husband and wife. But do we need to sacrifice our marriage relationship also?

The holidays can often NOT bring out the best in us. We, women, are multi-task alerted beings, aware of everything going on around us at all times.
