Nurturing Your Intimate Relationship is key to a lasting family unit. Many life changing events can happen in the years of a young couple, with or without children. The fact that children are involved only compound those events. How you and your partner approach each "life event" like losing a job, death of a close family member, adult or child illness, or even just changing jobs can put "stress" on the family unit.

If one partner can not confide in the other, and communicate openly then problems are bound to manifest themselves until the family is a broken unit.
