Romance and Kids

Written by Her on January 17, 2012 in Articles

Children are such an amazing gift and many married couples decide they want to add a few little ones to their family. What often happens however, is that romance can get lost in translation. It is very important to me that when we have kids, we can still be us. So I like reading about what other couples do to keep their sex life active even after having children.

I read an article that gives some really great pointers about how to keep the romance alive after the kids arrive. The author places a big emphasis on planning ahead. Schedules fill up quickly with all of the kid’s events so planning ahead will help ensure that you are making time for each other and not having to worry about anything else.

Make sure to have a date night at least once a month. If you and your partner can manage once a week, this is even better. Ask friends and family members or even your older children if they will help with babysitting, and make sure to go somewhere romantic. Place a “we will not talk about the children” rule on the table and have fun. Think about some of your more romantic dates or memories: This will help set the mood.

She also suggests using code words around the kids to let your husband or wife know how you are feeling, planning romantic getaways at least once and year and of course, keeping open lines of communication.
