Keep Things Spicy
Schedule Date Nights
Every couple has constraints, whether they be time constraints or financial ones. But where there's a will to have a date night, there's a way.
So book your sitter or recruit a responsible friend or relative, and make it a point to schedule grown-up time with the hubs. You'll remember why you liked him so much!
Do Something Nice For Your Spouse
Yes, you're busy. But you're driving by the dry cleaner and you know she's got a closet's worth of clothing there. Why not swing by a pick it up?
It doesn't have to take a lot of time and effort to do something nice for your spouse. Plus, it could be fun.
Don't Fight About The Kids
You think he's too soft on the kids. He thinks you're a bit of a hard ass. So you fight about the kids in front of the kids, which leads to epic fights later.
So resist the temptation to let the kids come in between you each and every time those darling little offspring of yours get under your skin.
Check In Throughout The Day
Even if you're having the busiest day ever, the kids are driving you nuts or a big client is in town, there's still time to spare to check in with one another throughout the day. It doesn't have to take long, but everyone can find the time.
Listen To Your Partner's Story
His work bores you? Check. The last thing you want to do after your long day is hear about hers? Check. Listen anyway!
Everybody wants to feel seen and heard, especially by the supposed love of their life.
Help Each Other With The Kids
Hey let's face it: There are certain times of the day, and certain events, that bring out the worst in one's kids. Which brings out the worst in their parents!
So if you can help your partner out with those difficult kid times, like getting home earlier to help with bath time, or taking on some of the school runs, do it! Less stress equals happier couples.
