Cupid’s Advice:

While having a baby is a happy time, it can sometimes be stressful on a relationship. Cupid has some advice on how to strengthen your relationship prior to having a child:

1. Date night: Date night is a fun way to spend time together and remind each other just how much you care for each other. It will bring back those cute memories of when you first met, or that time you accidentally tripped and fell because you were nervous. Either way, this cute gesture is a stress-free activity to enjoy. This is your time together; spend it wisely.

2. Communication: Communication is one of the most essential tools when it comes to having a strong relationship. Communicating with your partner can literally make or break your relationship. If nothing else, make sure you communicate, because a simple misunderstanding can take a turn for the worse. On the positive side, it is good to know what’s going on in your partner’s world when you aren’t around. You also don’t want them to feel like you don’t care, because ultimately, they will find someone else to talk to. We all know the saying, “If you won’t, someone else will.”

3. Listen: Listening is important; it shows your partner that you are there for them. Everybody wants to be heard, including you, so give each other that time. Having someone listen to you often gives validation  that what you have to say is important, and sometimes people need that. More importantly, when you are in a relationship, you are supposed to also be a friend; what kind of friend would you be if you didn’t listen?
