So you’re married….congratulations! Those first few years are AWESOME. You don’t have to plan things out, you don’t have to worry about sitters. You can just be spontaneous. If you feel like dropping by huni’s office in the middle of the afternoon to surprise him, you can. If you want to have a romantic evening in with your sweetheart…just the two of you, music, candles, and dinner, you can. Then you have kids. Kids are an ABSOLUTE AMAZING addition to your family. You are no longer able to have those spontaneous moments you loved in the beginning. Now you have to plan your romance. If you want to have an evening in alone, you have to find a sitter. If you want to surprise huni in the middle of the afternoon, you have to find a sitter, unless of course you are blessed to have a live-in nanny. Which would be awesome, and if you are kudos to you! Now you’re finding it hard to find time to spend with your husband. Every married couple knows that a little alone times goes a long way. Here are 5 ways that SR and I find time for each other.
1. Weekly Date Nights
2. Delve In The Little Things
Take advantage of those small moments to show your huni how much you love them. At the end of the day compliment each other and do a little favor for them without being asked like taking out the trash or washing dinner dishes. Don’t take your sweetheart for granted.
3. Talk When You Can
You don’t need hours to connect, just some uninterrupted time. Communicating and working together to solve problems are key to maintaining healthy relationships.
4. Do Something Together
5. Make Time for Sex
When it was just the two of you, there was no need to make time for sex; it just happened. Unfortunately, spontaneous intimacy isn’t one of the hallmarks of parenting. Babies need your full attention, which can leave you too exhausted for sex when a private moment arrives. And just when the children become old enough to give you a bit of free time, interruptions become an issue. It won’t be easy but you need to make sex a priority in your marriage. The intimate, one-on-one time you share will be exactly the closeness you and your spouse need to stay connected.
