Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? And baby makes three: the impact of a new baby on the couple system Just as the couple's relationship affects the children, children affect the couple's relationship. The most immediate effect occurs after the birth of the couple's first child. This significant life change brings with it a shift toward a more traditional division of labor (Cowan & Cowan, 2000, 2010) and less marital satisfaction as well (Twenge et al., 2003). Satisfaction declines more markedly in women (Cowan & Cowan, 2010). In fact, mothers' workload increases by 2 hours while fathers' load increases by only 40 minutes after the baby arrives (Yavorsky et al., 2015). However, when mothers and fathers are supportive of each other's parenting there is less of a drop in couple satisfaction (Durtschi et al., 2017, Soloski, & Kimmes, 2017). Need Assignment Help?
