Keeping the Romance Alive After Marriage and Children

BY Soko Directory Team · April 1, 2015 01:04 pm

First off, one has to forget the myth that there is no romance after kids come along in a marriage. Adding shared responsibilities and kids to the mix can actually enhance intimacy. It may be true that time and energy comes divided. Responsibilities can creep in and overshadow the romance if one let them.

Marriage is a priority until a little one enters your life. All you want to do is sleep and take time for yourself as a couple. Romance normally falls to the wayside but it’s even more crucial for the family to stay united when children are involved by keeping marriage a priority. Here, couples share how to keep the spark alive.

Keeping the spark alive is not easy but it is up to the couples to rekindle the moment of romance. You can’t wait for life to give you back your date nights because more often than not it won’t. Plan yourself and make the habit of going on dates with your partner. Connect with your partner, a lunch date plus periodically meeting up with your sweetheart will add some spark to your day. Remember sharing some of your partner’s interests is good for your relationship. Sharing each other’s hobbies not only makes one learn something new but have more things to talk about that will bring the two together.

Why just call your spouse when you can have a face-to-face conversation over a nice cup of coffee! The personal connection provided by a face-to-face meet keeps partners very close and more connected.
Vacations, birthdays and holidays also give the best opportunity to make grand gestures to the one you love. Keeping romance alive takes skill, hard work and commitment. Couples have an initiative to understand love languages, resolve conflicts, make sure sex is great for both parties and keep the element of surprise.

The powerful thing about marriage is that the security of commitment enables us to change and learn what true love is really about. Want to improve your relationship? See love as a verb rather than a feeling.
