Love, Sex, Babies, and Happiness

In this Practically Perfect Parenting Podcast, Dr. Sara starts
off by spoiling the romantic hopes and dreams of
everyone—including Dr. John. Instead of embracing fairy tale
relationship patterns that include love, sex, babies, and
happiness, Sara offers a rather depressing list of reasons why
having children tends to decrease relationship satisfaction.
Fortunately, later in the show she also provides a list of
excellent ideas and solutions that should give us all hope for
the happily ever after ending. John’s role in this episode mostly
involves him scratching his head and asking Sara what the heck
she means by “cyber-flirting,” “soft start-ups,” and “magic
ratios,” while, at the same time, expressing relief, because on a
podcast, no one can see him blush. This podcast is brought to you
by the Charles Engelhard Foundation, and the National Parenting
Education Network.
