WAYS TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE STRONG AFTER KIDS
It takes intentionality to build a happy, healthy relationship, especially after kids are in the picture (we should know, we have three under six!), but it’s absolutely possible for anyone who is willing to be diligent in the pursuit of their spouse! These are some of the habits we prioritize that have helped us build a happy, loving, lasting marriage.
PRIORITIZE DATE NIGHT.
Keeping time with just the two of you a priority will help you remember who you are without the kids in the picture. This is so crucial because one day, they won’t need you in the same way. If you don’t make the time to grow together through this season of parenting, you’ll end up growing apart instead.
MAKE TIME FOR INTIMACY.
Being intimate together is so necessary because it makes you feel more emotionally connected! Make it a goal a few times a week to get the kids in bed early to spend some time together.
HAVE GOALS BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND TOGETHER THAT YOU’RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON.
Working together toward a common goal will help you bond, often without you even realizing it! Support each other’s individual goals and be in each other’s corner.
ALWAYS HAVE EYES ONLY FOR EACH OTHER.
Make it a habit not to be checking people out on TV or when you’re walking around together. It’s hurtful and degrading to your partner.
TRAVEL TOGETHER.
Both with and without the kids! This goes back to remembering who you are without them in the equation, because it started with you and him, and one day it’ll be that way again.
