...factors, not just a history of depression or anxiety. Although effective treatment is available, fewer than half of cases are recognized. Fewer of those women ever receive treatment. The Mothers Act, which funds research, education and awareness, is the only piece of legislation that would help systematize sorely lacking support and services.

There are two key predictors of a resilient relationship, experts say: mutual support and a willingness to sacrifice. In a recent study of newlyweds who became first-time parents, Gottman found that two-thirds suffered sharp drops in happiness during their child's infancy, under the strain of new parenthood. But for one-third of couples, the experience was cohesive and increased intimacy. Gottman says he could predict which couples would blossom under stress: those in whom, years...
