#015: The Biggest Mistake Couples Make After Having Kids - Dr. Stan Tatkin

In this episode, renowned psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Stan Tatkin joins Mark Groves to unpack the emotional landmines couples face when transitioning into parenthood—and how to avoid them. Drawing from decades of research and his new book Baby Bomb, Dr. Tatkin breaks down why so many relationships collapse after a baby arrives, the hidden dynamics that trigger resentment and disconnection, and why co-regulation—not self-reliance—is the key to thriving love. He introduces powerful frameworks like “fighting for two winners” and building relational systems that prioritize interdependence, safety, and repair. Whether you're a new parent or simply want to future-proof your relationship, this episode is a must-listen blueprint for deeper connection and conscious partnership.Stan's Links:Dr. Tatkin’s InstagramThe PACT Institute WebsiteCTL Links:Website: www.createthelove.comCourses: www.createthelove.com/coursesWhere are you stuck in love? Take the quiz: https://markgroves.involve.me/where-are-you-stuck-in-love-quiz Mark's Book: www.markgroves.com/bookGet our Relationship Toolkit: How to Thrive in Your Relationships: https://markgroves.com/relationshipmastery
