This study described the perspectives and interplay of factors affecting the family sense of coherence of Chinese couples during the perinatal period. We adopted a grounded theory approach and conducted semi-structured interviews with 36 Chinese couples during pregnancy and at 2–3 months postpartum. Four major themes emerged involving meaningfulness, comprehensibility, and manageability of new parenthood and factors affecting the family sense of coherence. The strong sense of family unity and harmony embedded in the Confucian philosophy and the collective coping, in particular the strong social support network, seemed to contribute to couple’s experience of new parenthood as meaningful, comprehensible, and manageable.
