Many couples will encounter additional life cycle stages, each with their own blessings and challenges. Just like marriage, creating a family will elicit the best and the worst, the gifts and the limitations of the parents. It is another opportunity to learn about cooperation and becoming a team, about dealing with differences and conflicts, and about taking time to pause and choose. Parenting is a spiritual journey that involves not only the growth of the children but the growth of the parents. Like marriage, it will have many opportunities to surrender and die to self, to let go and to grieve.
Other life cycle challenges include illness, unemployment and other financial crises, retirement, and the death of one’s partner. Many couples must take care of the older generation while letting go of the younger one.

Ramai pasangan akan menghadapi tambahan peringkat kitaran hidup, masing-masing dengan rahmat dan cabaran mereka sendiri. Sama seperti perkahwinan, mewujudkan keluarga akan mencungkil yang terbaik dan yang paling teruk, hadiah dan batasan ibu bapa. Ia adalah satu lagi peluang untuk belajar tentang kerjasama dan menjadi satu pasukan, tentang berurusan dengan perbezaan dan konflik, dan kira-kira mengambil masa untuk berhenti seketika dan pilih. Keibubapaan adalah satu perjalanan rohani yang melibatkan bukan sahaja pertumbuhan kanak-kanak tetapi pertumbuhan ibu bapa. Seperti perkahwinan, ia akan mempunyai banyak peluang untuk menyerah diri dan mati untuk diri, untuk melepaskan dan bersedih hati. Lain-lain cabaran kitaran hidup termasuk penyakit, pengangguran dan krisis kewangan yang lain, persaraan, dan kematian pasangan seseorang. Ramai pasangan mesti menjaga generasi tua manakala melepaskan yang lebih muda.
