No, it will not.
All it will do is involve another person to ride the sinking ship.

It is never true. All you’ve done is create someone else into a miserable, unhappy family. That’s terrible.

Children will bring happiness.

A new baby never makes anything better…..before considering having a child to save your marriage try counseling.
I have several friends who tried the “lets have a baby to save our marriage” and in the end it made it so much worse.
you need to fix whats wrong before you bring another party into the mix
good luck

NO!! It is very untrue. A baby is hard work. Sometimes when one of the parents (or both) cannot take the stress it puts an even bigger strain on the relationship. Never have a child when your relationship is already bad. It is not fair to the child and it does not make anything better.

Most marriages actually get worse after a baby due to lack of sleep, financial strain, and then lack of sex. So try marriage counseling or just leaving him.

Absolutely not! Do not let a baby enter into such bad circumstances.

Pregnancy and child raising put a strain on marriage. Both partners have to be willing to give and commit to the child more than to themselves for this to work. A child would be the final blow to a troubled marriage. You will end up a single parent. Getting pregnant to keep your man is juvenile and incredibly selfish. Deal with your problems, don’t create new ones.

No it will only make things worse.

It’s just you, in denial that your marriage will get better…
If anything a child brings in new stress into the relationship, and might drift you further apart…

I’m sorry to say that it could be a strong possibility of denial on your part. I don’t believe it’s wise to attempt to have a baby to salvage your marriage. I myself is going thru a rocky marriage and in the midst of a good moment I got pregnant in the process. It wasn’t planned or intentional just a heated moment with regrets. My son was my blessing allowing myself to believe the lies of my husband was the lesson. Just cuz you have a baby isn’t going to make the man stay if he really wants to go.

Nope.

No, no and no again. A baby is not going to fix anything. The fact that you two don’t have a baby isn’t the reason you have an unhappy/failed marriage. Therefor having a baby wont fix it. Figure out what the problems are in your marriage before you bring a child into this world. Do you really want to bring a child into your unhappy home. Please don’t have a baby thinking it will fix your marriage cause it wont. Yes babies bring happiness but they don’t fix marriage problems. I cant stress this enough.

nope. then you guys will fight for custody for your baby if things don’t go well.

Children are a blessing, and you will never look at your child and regret bringing them into the world.
That being said, children are nails in the coffin of a bad marriage. Sorry, they don’t save a marriage, they test it. There will be more stresses than you can imagine. Sort your marriage out as best you can, and try to be in the best possible place when your child enters the world. Then, hang on–gonna be a wild ride!

Never indeed.
