The Influence of IVF on Couple Relationship
IVF is a kind of fertility assistance technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their fertility dreams through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Although IVF technology has brought good news to many couples, whether this method will have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife has also attracted people's attention. This article will elaborate on the influence of IVF on husband wife relationship from four aspects: emotional support, psychological pressure, family relationship and childcare responsibility.
Emotional support
In the process of IVF, both husband and wife need to support and understand each other. For women, pregnancy is a process of both expectation and anxiety. The emotional support of family members will play a positive role in women's psychological state and help to reduce anxiety and tension. At the same time, mutual encouragement and support between husband and wife can enhance the intimacy between husband and wife and deepen their emotional ties.
In particular, the emotional support between husband and wife is particularly important when there may be failures and setbacks in the process of IVF. Understanding and tolerating each other and facing difficulties and challenges together can help couples better overcome difficulties and increase emotional solidity.
Psychological pressure
In the process of IVF, couples may face many psychological pressures. The first is the worry about the success rate. IVF technology is not 100% successful, and couples may worry that many attempts have failed, increasing psychological pressure.
The second is about the cost. In the process of IVF, multiple medical operations are required, and the cost is high. Couples may feel anxious to deal with increased financial stress.
Finally, anxiety about the gestation process. IVF technology requires many medical procedures, and couples may fear the pain of surgery and discomfort during recovery. These psychological pressures will have a negative impact on the couple's mental health and emotional relations.
Family relations
The influence of IVF on husband wife relationship is also reflected in family relationship. The first is the communication between husband and wife. IVF requires joint decision-making and coordination between husband and wife, and requires a lot of communication and discussion. This process can help couples deepen their understanding and enhance their relationship.
The second is the pressure on family members and others in society. IVF is still misunderstood and discriminated against in some traditional concepts. Couples may face pressure and doubt from their families and others in the society, which may have a negative impact on their relationship.
Finally, the sense of responsibility between husband and wife. The birth of IVF is a common spiritual achievement for couples. They will cherish this child more and have more sense of responsibility for marriage. At the same time, the distribution of childcare responsibilities also requires the negotiation and understanding of both husband and wife, which puts forward higher requirements for the relationship between husband and wife.
Childcare responsibility
After the birth of test tube babies, couples need to face the responsibility of childcare. The increase of childcare responsibility will have a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. The first is the allocation of time and energy. The arrival of children means that couples need more time and energy to invest in childcare, which may lead to changes in the relationship between husband and wife.
The second is the difference of breeding concept. There may be differences in the concept of raising children between husband and wife, which requires communication and negotiation between husband and wife. Different understandings of parenting methods and differences in coping styles may lead to friction between husband and wife.
Finally, the expectations for children. The birth of IVF is often regarded as a miracle by couples, who may place great expectations on their children. When expectations differ from reality, the relationship between husband and wife may fluctuate.
To sum up, IVF has a great impact on the relationship between husband and wife. The emotional support between husband and wife, the bearing of psychological pressure, the adjustment of family relations and the increase of childcare responsibility are all influencing factors. However, through the understanding, support and rational communication between the husband and wife, they can jointly cope with various difficulties and challenges, maintain a good husband and wife relationship, and lay a solid foundation for the growth and happiness of children.
