The Influence of IVF on Couple Relationship
Test tube baby (that is, assisted reproductive technology) is an important achievement of modern medicine, which provides many infertile couples with the opportunity to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the process and results of IVF have a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife from different aspects.
Increased psychological pressure
The process of IVF is often accompanied by increased psychological pressure, which has a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. First of all, both husband and wife need to receive a series of medical examinations and treatments, which may consume a lot of time and energy, bringing some trouble to their lives. In addition, the success rate of IVF is not 100%. For many couples, they need to face the possibility of failure. These psychological pressures and uncertainties will have a negative impact on their interaction.
In addition, for some couples, if only one party has infertility problems, the other party may have to bear more responsibilities and burdens in the process of selecting IVF, including receiving various examinations and treatments, and undergoing surgery. This may lead to conflict and tension between husband and wife.
However, in the face of increased psychological pressure, couples are also more aware of the importance of their mutual support and dependence. They may unite more closely to face difficulties and challenges together, thus strengthening the relationship between husband and wife.
The emergence of emotional fluctuations
The process of IVF is a process of great emotional fluctuation. In the process of receiving assisted reproductive technology treatment, couples often experience changes in hope, disappointment, anxiety and other emotions. The results of each treatment have a direct impact on their emotions. Success may bring joy and expectation, while failure may bring depression and despair.
This emotional fluctuation may have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife. On the one hand, the couple may feel tired and unable to continue when they are depressed, leading to emotional alienation. On the other hand, they may also deepen mutual understanding and trust and strengthen the stability of the relationship between husband and wife by sharing their feelings.
Time and economic pressure
The IVF process takes a lot of time and money, and this couple's relationship has generated some pressure. First of all, the treatment process often requires both husband and wife to adjust their work and life schedules, which may require a long time off or rest. This may lead to an increased financial burden on the other party, especially if only one spouse works.
In addition, the cost of IVF is usually high, including medical costs, drug costs and other related costs. This may put couples under economic pressure and need to seriously consider how to allocate family resources. Financial stress may lead to conflicts and quarrels between couples.
However, in the process of experiencing IVF together, couples will also develop better communication and cooperation skills, allocate time and resources reasonably, and share economic responsibilities, thus strengthening understanding and support between couples.
Changes in the role of parents
After the success of IVF, the couple will welcome a new baby and start a new role - parents. This has had a profound impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Couples need to adapt to new family life and responsibilities and learn how to care for and educate their children. This may require them to adjust their work and life schedules in order to take better care of their children.
Moreover, the process of IVF often deepens the expectations and sense of responsibility for children between couples. They may cherish the arrival of their children more and work harder for their children's future. This common goal and responsibility will help to further strengthen the relationship between husband and wife.
Summary
Test tube babies have a variety of effects on husband wife relationship. The increase of psychological pressure, the emergence of emotional fluctuations, time and economic pressure, and the change of parents' roles all challenge the relationship between husband and wife to a certain extent. However, through overcoming difficulties, mutual support and cooperation, couples can better cope with these challenges, thus enhancing their love and intimate relationship.
