Objective: This study aimed to explore the parenting experiences and communication patterns of couples in their 30s raising their first child in early childhood, with a focus on how these experiences shape their relationship dynamics and personal growth. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed. In-depth individual and couple interviews were conducted with five dual-income couples (N=10) in their 30s with a first child aged 3-6 years. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method. Results: Five main categories emerged from the analysis: 1) Encountering the child: Initial adaptation to parenthood; 2) Transitioning from a couple to parents: Role changes and shifts in communication patterns; 3) Family restructuring: Adjustments in family dynamics and roles; 4) Understanding the world through the child: Parental growth and value changes; and 5) Developing a partnership: Evolution of the couple relationship through parenting. Key findings included the challenges of balancing work and childcare, the importance of effective communication in managing parenting stress, the influence of participants' own childhood experiences on their parenting approach, and the transformative impact of parenthood on gender roles and couple dynamics. Conclusions: The study highlights the complex interplay between parenting experiences and couple communication among young parents in contemporary Korean society. The findings suggest the need for enhanced social support systems, including flexible work arrangements, improved parental leave policies, and accessible counseling services for new parents. The research also emphasizes the importance of fostering effective communication skills and equal parenting involvement to navigate the challenges of early parenthood successfully.
