Becoming parents brings a lot of joy, it also turns your world upside down! As you and your partner try to meet parenting responsibilities, many a times ‘me time’ takes a back seat. Some couple\u00a0time is important to keep you in a sane state of mind and your relationship going. One has to make small conscious effort to stay close and keep the spark.<\/p>\n
Here are some tips:<\/p>\n
Take five minutes to connect each day<\/b>
\nIt’s the little things that make a big difference in a marriage. Take five minutes when you both meet each other in the morning and check on the plan for the day and five minutes when your spouse returns from work to ask how was the day. Wrap your arms around the one you love and continue a tender, warm embrace. Sometimes that will be the best thing that has happened to your spouse all day.<\/p>\n
Give your partner the day off<\/b>
\nWith a baby, a full day off \u00a0is out of question but a afternoon to spend time with friends or catch a movie would be a great idea.<\/p>\n
Make a date and stick to it<\/b>
\nAfter a baby arrives, time spent as a couple is sacrificed. By setting a date to spend some quality time with your partner, you\u2019re instilling a habit, which will have great benefits for both you, your partner and your child.<\/p>\n
A walk to remember<\/b>
\nConvert your child\u2019s naptime into a romantic walk for you and your partner. The fresh air of \u00a0garden is good for your child while he is sleeping in the stroller, and you and your partner can enjoy a scenic stroll while having an opportunity to talk.<\/p>\n
