The Influence of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Elderly childbearing refers to the situation that a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth again when she is over 35 years old. Due to the progress of modern society and various reasons, more and more couples choose to have children again at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing has a profound impact on the relationship between husband and wife and family harmony.
First, having children at an advanced age will increase the pressure between couples. After a period of childcare and child care, women's physical endurance will decline when they become pregnant and have children again. This will not only increase women's physical burden, but also affect the mutual support and cooperation between husband and wife. For men, their inability to experience the pain of childbirth and the accumulated pressure may lead to their incomprehension and lack of care for their wives. Couples may have communication difficulties and quarrels due to increased pressure.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will have an impact on the economic status of couples. With the growth of age, the working ability and income level of both husband and wife may decline. At the same time, with the growth of age, the fees for children's education and growth will also increase. All these factors together will cause some pressure on the couple's financial situation. Faced with the increase of living expenses and economic pressure, couples may have conflicts and disputes.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of couples. When women are pregnant and have children at an advanced age, their recovery ability is relatively poor and their body burden is relatively heavy. This will have a certain impact on women's physical and mental health, which may lead to postpartum depression, anxiety and other problems. For men, facing their wives' physical changes and the shift of life focus, they may feel pressure and confusion, which will also have a certain impact on their physical and mental health.
The Influence of Older Childbearing on Family Harmony
In addition to the relationship between husband and wife, elderly childbearing will also have an impact on family harmony.
First, family harmony may be affected by the change of family roles. Before giving birth at an advanced age, the husband and wife may have gradually entered into the arrangement of family roles, dividing work and cooperating with each other. However, elderly childbearing will change the division of roles in the family and redistribute the responsibilities of family members. This may lead to the adaptation of family members to the new role division and responsibility, thus having a certain impact on family harmony.
Secondly, family economic pressure will increase. With the growth of age, the working ability of both husband and wife may decline, and the income level may also decrease. At the same time, with the increase of children, the family's expenses will also increase accordingly. This may lead to increased family economic pressure and affect the relationship and way of getting along between family members.
Finally, the elderly childbearing may affect the time arrangement and energy allocation of family members. Before giving birth at an advanced age, the couple may have formed a relatively stable schedule and energy allocation to meet the needs of family and work. However, giving birth at an advanced age will readjust the schedule of family members and increase the time and energy input in caring for children. This may lead to insufficient allocation of time and energy in other aspects, thus having a certain impact on family harmony.
Summary
In general, elderly childbearing has a significant impact on marital relations and family harmony. From the perspective of husband and wife relationship, elderly childbearing increases the pressure between husband and wife, and has an impact on economic status and physical and mental health. In terms of family harmony, elderly childbearing will change the division of family roles, increase economic pressure and readjust time arrangements and energy input. Therefore, when making the decision to give birth at an advanced age, both husband and wife should fully consider these influences and make a rational decision. At the same time, both husband and wife also need to understand and support each other, and jointly face the challenges brought by the elderly childbearing, so as to maintain the stability of the husband and wife relationship and the harmony of the family.
