Multiples can place a huge amount of stress on
marriage. Most studies show that marital satisfaction
starts to plummet with the arrival of the first child.
With multiples it can plummet even more! Yet, there are
many things that couples can do to communicate
productively and to resolve conflict.In this workshop
we'll discuss the most effective strategies to maintain
or restore intimacy, communicate productively, and
strengthen your marriage.We'll talk about:* Common
gender differences around sex and intimacy* Best and
worst ways to resolve conflict* How to communicate in a
way that actually gets you what you want* Best ways to
resolve differences around parenting* How to know
what's normal conflict and when your marriage is in
trouble.Dr. Coleman is a psychologist in private

(our girls are 11 months old now and we need some date
nights!). Does anyone have any recommendations? Has
anyone tried Urbansitter.com and found someone they
like? Please feel free to contact me directly:
sabenfam4@gmail.comThanks!Abigail

I'd like to hear form others re: their experiences too.
Our kids are 3.5 months. Sittercity.com requires a
monthly fee which seems unnecessary. Wondersitter.com
has you pay a fee each time you use the site which
seems more reasonable. I have used craigslist for one
sitter we found whom we really like.
