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.

- Navigate in-law involvement in parenting.
- Consider opinions on new vs. 'hand-me-down' baby items.

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!

Drs John and Julie Gottman are excited to introduce this Gottman Relationship Coach collection, All About Conflict.
The first program, “Dealing with Conflict” teaches the basics of communication in conflict. You will learn which of the problems your relationship faces are solvable, and which you may continue to encounter. If any of these perpetual problems have you stuck, the Gottmans can help you get “unstuck” and understand each other’s perspectives. “Dealing with Conflict” helps prepare you for the regular, inevitable moments of friction that are bound to arise in any relationship.
The second program, “What to Do After a Fight” teaches how to navigate more difficult arguments and the feelings that come along with them. If “Dealing with Conflict” makes regular communication “smooth sailing,” “What to Do After a Fight” helps you address rough waters to keep your relationship from capsizing. Often, more serious arguments arise because they touch on values and beliefs one or both of you hold dear. Explore what’s underneath the storm with the game-changing exercises contained in this program.
NOTE: If you already purchased “Dealing with Conflict” or “Making Up After an Argument” individually and want to take advantage of this special offer, make sure you are logged in to your Gottman Connect account and the price difference will automatically be deducted from your purchase of the second program.
