The article only discusses the first 2 years after a child's birth, when the child is most dependent on them, and least able to communicate. It's not front-page news that this is a very stressful time in a couple's life; most people know that before they choose to have kids. They know that the first year will be really rough, and could strain the marriage.
Tell us something we don't know, OP.
