Without realizing it at times, and sometimes with the best of intentions, our spouses move to the wayside when we become parents. We try so hard to balance work, parenting, household chores and life events, that we forget to invest in our partners. Those are all good things to do, and they need to get done, but our partners form part of the foundation that helps to hold the family together. Therefore, both mom and dad need to stay strong, connected and be on the same page.
SECRETS TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE WITH KIDS :
- Put each other first.
- Sneak in a little hug or a daily kiss.
- Try to think of little encouraging ways to make your spouse feel loved and special throughout the week.
- Be on the same page when it comes to knowing each others weekly/daily plans.
- Stay intimate.
- Make date nights or date days a priority.
- Value and respect your partners opinions, especially when it comes to parenting decisions.
- Keep a united parenting front.
- Don’t go to bed angry.
- Speak the truth in love.
- Fight the issue not each other.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. – Mignon McLaughlin
