Make Time For Romance

Often getting lost in the dizzying rush of having a new child is the romantic connection couples have. It's no secret having a child often means dedicating a lot of your time to the child. That's why it's so important to remind yourself and each other to spend quiet moments together.

Studies show children respond and develop stronger in a stable and steady household. The foundation of that strength is the unbreakable love and bond between woman and man, wife and husband, soulmate and soulmate.

Keep these tips in mind:

• It's OK to get a baby sitter to get an evening together. Keep the romantic fire strong with date nights, dinner nights and movie nights.
• Show strong affection for each other. A touch or kiss can go a long way.
• Celebrate moments together and celebrate each other. Raising a child goes by really fast. Slow down and celebrate together.
• Be honest with one another. It's no secret communication is key to a strong relationship. Talk to each other and listen a lot, especially when you don't agree.
• Make time for intimacy. You need it, your spouse needs it. It makes for a more relaxing evening. Try it. Try it often.
