Couples as Parents considers the motivation for parenthood and plots the developmental challenges facing couples through pregnancy, birth and beyond. Damian McCann explores the range of emotions and challenges facing couples as they prepare for parenthood. He also considers the changing nature of intimate family relationships in the context of wider society. Through this expanded lens, he reflects on the importance of more diverse representations of family life, contrasting these with traditional notions of family constellations, with a specific emphasis on the heterosexual conjugal unit, rooted in marriage and co-residence. Challenging the idealization of motherhood, he focuses attention on the role of the couple relationship and, crucially, the importance of the co-parental relationship as they care for their vulnerable infant.
