Keep Your Partner Alive: Surviving the First Year With a Baby

Baby already here?

Join us for a 12-week virtual couples course to keep your relationship intact when sleep, sanity, and sex have left the building.

Parenting is hard.

It’s beautiful and hilarious and full of love, but it’s also sleepless nights, endless dishes, and arguments about who changed the last diaper. The first year with a baby can push even the strongest couples to their limits. that’s why Keep Your Partner Alive: Surviving the First Year With a Baby was created. Think of it as your weekly check-in to laugh, reset, and learn a few tricks to get through it together (with less resentment and more teamwork).

Over 12 weeks, you and your partner will spend one hour a week in a fun, real-life, virtual session. You’ll tackle the big stress points—sleep, chores, intimacy, in-laws, money—while building simple habits that keep you connected. No lectures, no eye-rolls—just practical strategies, real conversations, and a little humor to remind you why you actually like each other. By the end, you’ll have more than survival skills; you’ll have a stronger sense of “we’ve got this.”

Because the first year with a baby is hard. Really hard. But it doesn’t have to destroy you (or your partnership).

    • Real Talk, Not Instagram Talk – We’ll cover the fights you’re already having at 2am, the resentment over who does more, and why your partner suddenly feels like a roommate.

    • Research + Humor + Practical Skills – Built on Gottman Institute’s Bringing Baby Home, Fair Play, and clinical parent training frameworks… delivered with the honesty of a friend who’s been there.

    • 12 Guided Sessions, One Hour a Week – Just you, your partner, and other couples in the same trenches.
