52 Questions Before Baby Card Deck

Good family planning should require answering these questions!

What will I learn?

In this challenge, you will learn how to have a positive perspective in your relationship and strengthen your friendship with your partner, which is at the core of any great relationship. Learn to:

Reflect on your readiness for parenthood together.
Discuss the impact of caregiving on household finances.
Explore emotional preparedness for parenting.
Navigate in-law involvement in parenting.
Consider opinions on new vs. 'hand-me-down' baby items.
Use as a fun, engaging way to plan your family.
Create rituals to build the life you want in your relationship

The 52 Questions Before Baby Card Deck gives you a helping “hand” when thinking about having a child with questions to ask each other before a baby joins your family. In this functional deck, each card asks one or more questions about how adding to your family might affect your life.

Partners take turns asking and answering the questions they draw from the deck. Each question encourages thoughtful reflection and dialogue about a decision that will change your life in a truly profound way. Sample questions:

If you decide to be a full-time caregiver, what value does this contribute toward the household and finances?
In what ways are you emotionally prepared to parent?
How might you encourage or discourage your in-laws’ participating in your parenting?
How do you feel about ‘hand me down’ items versus new items?

Don’t gamble on your potential family – play with a full deck and find out where you both stand!

Can be used as a regular deck of cards too!
