What are some ways to keep romance intact after you have a child?
Cupid’s Advice:
Having children is typically a joyful experience, but there’s no doubt that romance in your relationship takes a hit as a result. Â Cupid has some tips:
1. Date night: You may not have had a specific night in the week where you always went on a date before you had a child. Â Now, however, it’s necessary to schedule your alone time. Â That way you can coordinate a babysitter ahead of time.
2. Post-bedtime hangout: Although it may not seem like it at first, your child will eventually learn to sleep through the night. Â When that happens, their bedtime will probably be before you and your significant other’s. Â Take the time after your son or daughter goes to bed to reconnect as a couple.
3. Mini-vacations: It’s understandable that you’d be hesitant to leave your child behind on a trip, but sometimes you need a couple days to unwind. Â Leave your kid(s) with their grandparents or your siblings. Â Even if it’s just a weekend getaway, it’s important to spend some quality time alone every once in a while.
