The Physical Influence of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Elderly childbearing refers to childbearing when at least one of the spouses is over 35 years old. In this case, the health of the body has an important impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
First of all, the elderly childbirth will increase the risk of a series of health problems during pregnancy. The function of female reproductive system gradually declines with age, and pregnancy complications and fetal abnormalities are prone to occur. In addition, the quality and quantity of male sperm will gradually decline, increasing the difficulty of pregnancy. These health problems will lead to physical and mental fatigue of both husband and wife, increasing mutual burden and anxiety.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may also lead to sexual life problems in the relationship between husband and wife. After menopause, women are prone to problems such as decreased libido and sexual dysfunction due to changes in hormone levels in their bodies. Men may also have erectile difficulties or ejaculation problems due to changes in their physical conditions. These physiological problems may lead to the disharmony of sexual life between husband and wife, and thus affect the feelings and partnership between husband and wife.
In addition, elderly childbearing will also increase the differences between husband and wife on child education. Due to the increase of age, there may be differences in the concepts and expectations of raising children between husband and wife. One party is eager to spend more time with children, while the other party may not be able to meet this demand due to age restrictions. This may lead to quarrels and conflicts between husband and wife, and have a negative impact on family relations.
The Psychological Influence of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on the mental health of both spouses.
First of all, for couples who have failed to conceive for a long time, the older they are, the stronger the sense of urgency of time is, and the more fragile the feeling of hope for pregnancy is. After many failures, couples may feel depressed, desperate or even self reproach. These negative emotions will increase the pressure and tension between couples, leading to an increased risk of relationship breakdown.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing has also brought about concerns about children's health. Due to the growth of age, there are certain genetic risks at birth, such as chromosome abnormalities. Couples may feel worried and anxious and pay too much attention to their children's health. This kind of worry will increase the tension between husband and wife, which may lead to emotional imbalance.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also have a negative impact on trust and tolerance between couples. When one party has health problems due to age, the other party may have pressure and dissatisfaction, thinking that the other party's responsibility is responsible for these problems. This will aggravate the contradiction and indifference between husband and wife, which will have a negative impact on the relationship.
The Time and Economic Impact of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on the time arrangement and economic status of couples.
First of all, it takes a longer time to prepare for the birth of the elderly. Due to the growth of age, couples may need more time to do physical examinations, adjust their living habits, select appropriate hospitals, etc. This will affect the work and social life of both husband and wife, and increase the difficulty in time management.
Secondly, the medical cost of elderly childbirth is higher. This includes medical examination, assisted reproductive technology and costs during pregnancy and childbirth. For couples with ordinary economic conditions, these additional costs may increase the economic burden, leading to economic pressure and quarrels between the spouses.
At the same time, elderly childbearing may also affect the career development of couples. Women may need to take leave or reduce working hours during pregnancy and after the birth of children, which affects their career development and income. This has brought certain challenges to the family's economic situation and the division of labor between husband and wife.
A summary of the relationship between husband and wife in elderly childbearing
It can be seen that the elderly childbearing has many effects on the husband wife relationship. Physically speaking, elderly childbearing increases the risk of health problems for pregnant women, leading to increased physical and mental burden between couples. Psychologically, failure to conceive for a long time may bring pressure and tension between husband and wife, which will have a negative impact on the relationship. In addition, the pressure of time and economy also increases the contradictions and differences between couples. Therefore, couples need to be fully aware of these impacts when considering the elderly childbearing, and make psychological and economic preparations to maintain the stability and happiness of the marital relationship.
