Keeping the Spark Alive

It can be hard to keep the flames of passion burning in a relationship at times but when babies, toddlers, tweens and teens are thrown in to the equation it can be even more difficult. After all, kids are demanding and tantrums and sleep deprivation can be draining!

So how can you keep the spark alive after kids?

Turn off technology
The majority of us have our iPad, mobile and laptop that keep us in touch with everyone but if your relationship is suffering you need to turn technology off to turn your partner on. Try to have at least one night a week when you completely ignore calls, texts and tweets to spend time, uninterrupted, with your partner instead.






Time out
With work and other commitments you may struggle to relax and enjoy time together doing something you both love, but it's important to MAKE time. Family and friends are there to help out so don't feel guilty, take them up on offers and plan some date nights. Go for a meal, watch a movie or have some competitive fun bowling.

Increase contact
Pop a note in his lunch box, leave a message in the steam on the mirror, send a text. Anything to increase communication. Also try to increase physical contact too with hugs and kisses to make each other feel special, wanted and appreciated.





Surprise
The little unexpected gifts are the best ones. Whether that's sorting a candlelit bath for your partner after a hectic day, cooking them their favourite food or buying them flowers. It will put a smile on their face and make them happier.
