Love, Sex and Babies…
What more is there to life?
Well, how about Emotional Bonding? Marital Bonding?
Take a look at a strong, happy marriage and you will likely find a couple with a solid emotional bond.
How did they get this?How do they nurture this closeness?
Couples can do many things to increase or maintain a sense of marital bonding.

Guests: Bob and Lynn Griesemer
COMPLETELY ignored by the current approach to childbirth.
Bob will discuss his experiences with the birth of his children both in the hospital and at home, unassisted.
He will also talk about the father’s bond with the baby and his wife and why he thinks the marital bond is greatly affected during birth.
Lynn will emphasize the importance of “emotional bonding,” not only with your newborn baby, but with your husband.
Unassisted Homebirth (UHB) is not insurance against divorce, nor does it mean that you will live happily ever after.
However, UHB strengthens the relationship because it is a shared event during one of life’s key moments.
It requires healthy communication and is filled with tenderness, compassion, gentleness and honesty.
Bob and Lynn will share all this and more, including:
•
why men resist greater involvement and what can be done about it
•
gaining courage before and after the birth
•
3 ways UHB strengthens the marital bond
