You co sleep?

 “You co sleep? I could never. Our marriage wouldn’t last.”

If letting your baby sleep where they feel safest is enough to break a marriage, then the marriage was already standing on shaky ground. Co sleeping didn’t create the problem. It just exposed it.

Strong marriages survive seasons. They adjust when life is loud and sleep is short and priorities shift. Babies are temporary. This phase is temporary.

What lasts is the way a child learns safety. The way they learn comfort. The way they learn that closeness is met with warmth, not resistance.

A marriage built on partnership can handle a baby in the bed. It can handle sacrifice. It can handle change.
The problem isn’t the baby in the bed.
It’s a weak foundation.
