The relationship between parents forms a significant part of the social environment within which infants and children develop. Research and clinical practice indicate that the process of becoming a parent can place a strain on a couple's partnership and that the presence of children can be associated with diminished levels of satisfaction within marriage. This paper considers why marital satisfaction may decline with the roles and responsibilities of parenthood and pays particular attention to the problem of managing difference at personal and public levels when unconscious assumptions and conscious expectations merge and apply pressure on the individual parents and their relationship. Les relations qui existent entre les parents forment une partie importante du milieu social au sein duquel les nourrissons et les enfants se développent. Les recherches et la pratique clinique indiquent que le fait de devenir parent peut mettre à l'épreuve et rendre difficiles les relations du couple. Elles indiquent également que la présence d'enfants a été associée à des niveaux diminués de satisfaction dans le mariage. Cet article examine les raisons pour lesquelles la satisfaction maritale peut diminuer avec les rǒles et respon-sabilités de parentage. II met particulièrement l'accent sur le probléme qui consiste à régir les différences aux niveaux à la fois personnel et public lorsque des suppositions inconscientes et des attentes conscientes font pression pour s'unir.
