Having a baby obviously changes a married couple’s relationship in incalculable ways. Sidra and Ben have been married for 10 years and are expecting their first child. They volunteered to be apart of Glamour’s series where they sit down face-to-face and ask each other some difficult questions about their relationship and the fears they have about the road ahead.
The questions start relatively simple with “When you think about the first time we met, what do you remember?” and then immediately dive right into the heavy stuff with “Am I the best sex you’ve ever had”, to which Ben, grinning from ear to ear, responds “Yup!”. (Let’s be honest, was he really going to answer ‘No’??).
The following questions about life after the baby are where things get real. Sidra asks, “How do you feel about coming secondary to the baby?” and Ben gives the most honest response we’ve ever heard,
“Yea, i’ll definitely feel sad and a little bit left out and um, not quite the center of your world. And we have been through so much, I know that we will get back to this. Maybe it’s 3 months, maybe it’s 6 months, maybe it’s a year. But we know how to climb back up this hill and get back here. And i’ll do that as many times as I have to. You’re the most important person in the world to me.”Watch their incredibly moving answers and deep, undeniable connection.
