As parents with a small child or children it can be difficult
to find time to spend together the way that you could before the kids arrived.
This often translates, in practical terms, in a definite plunge in your ability
to find those romantic interludes that were just a part of life before kids.
However, staying strong as a couple by finding time keep
that romance alive is not just important for your relationship, it is also
important for your comfort and security as a couple. Couples that routinely
find time to spend with each other and enjoying being together are happier,
more secure in their relationships and more likely to feel important and valued
in the eyes of their spouse.
To keep romance alive with young children in the home try
the following:
- Ask a family member you trust to take the kids for the
weekend or a night and either plan a getaway or have a romantic
stay-cation in your own home.
- Do something special that you know your partner enjoys as
a planned but surprise activity. Maybe this is going bowling or visiting a
local park, but add a touch of romance by focusing on them and not on the
kids or the bills.
- Make it a point to enjoy each other’s company by holding
hands when you walk, sit together to watch a movie and giving more than
just a peck on the cheek as a greeting.
- Add romance by sending a loving text message, putting a
romantic note in a pocket, purse or briefcase or calling at a break to
just say you were thinking of them.
- Have fun. Laughing and sharing wonderful experiences, even
funny little things at the grocery store, build up a relationship.
The more little things that you do to show you partner you
are in love and you want to be with them the greater the response will be and
the more romance you will enjoy throughout your life together.
