5 Steps to Bring Back the Romance When Kids Bring Chaos
Dec. 1, 2015 Engaged Marraige
Imagine your finger is on a switch. This “magic” switch will ignite a hot SPARK in your marriage anytime you choose. At will and in an instant, you could connect like you used to and enjoy deep intimacy.
All distractions of being a parent, an employee and a house manager go away and you experience that Soul Mate connection just like you did in the early days.
The bad news is I don’t have a magic switch for you…but the great news is that you CAN recreate this spark in a few simple steps.
1. Let your priorities be known!
Your kids, friends, co-workers, church associates – everyone who wants your time – needs to know that your spouse comes first (or right behind God if you’re a fellow person of faith).
Getting what you desire in your marriage starts with using your time in a way that’s in line with your desires.
2. Share Couple Time every day
Even if it’s 10 minutes from a remote location, you must devote time to enjoying each other as a couple every day. Not as a parent and not as an iPhone junkie…as a couple.
Once this becomes a habit in your life, the doors to open communication and deep intimacy will be open to you.
3. No excuses date nights
You simply have to date your spouse. This doesn’t mean you have to buck up for a babysitter and an expensive meal out – a date night in after the kids are in bed will work like a charm.
When couples make date night (or day) a reality, romance flows naturally.
