"Are you a new parent? Among the countless changes you're experiencing right now, are your relationship with your partner and your sex life among them? If you're finding that your emotional and physical experiences in your relationship aren't what they were before you stepped into the world of parenting, research shows you're definitely not alone. In a study that was just published, a team of relationship scientists cited relevant research on the slide a lot of parents face in their dynamic and sex life"
"when someone capitalizes, they talk about an experience that is cheerful or elevating in some way. This experience can refer to any aspect of life, whether it's parenting, a hobby, a career, self-growth, athletics, school, a vacation, a treasured pet's wacky and adorable antics (ahem, not that I would know anything about that), other relationships, a personal adventure, the beauty of nature, a divine dish at a restaurant, or simply an amusement that snuck its way into the day-to-day of life"
Capitalization occurs when someone shares a good, happy, or joyful experience with another person. Positive partner responses that are engaged and friendly strengthen romantic relationships. New parents commonly experience declines in relationship dynamics and sex life after becoming parents. Capitalization between partners during the parenting transition relates to emotional bonding and sexual desire. Capitalization can include sharing joys from parenting, hobbies, career achievements, personal growth, adventures, relationships, nature, food, or a pet's antics. Greater capitalization is linked to higher desire, increased relationship happiness, and closer emotional intimacy among new parents.
