Couples therapy after baby - did it help?

Husband and I fight constantly post-baby. Resentment about who does what. Considering couples therapy. Has anyone done it - was it worth the £?

Yes 100%. We saw a couples therapist for 6 sessions when baby was 6mo. Changed our whole dynamic.

Even one session can help. Costs less than divorce.

The Fair Play book by Eve Rodsky alongside therapy helped distribute the mental load.

Gottman Method couples therapy specifically researched for new parents.

We DIY'd it with the book 'And Baby Makes Three' by Gottman. Saved us.
