Recharge yourself and your partnership
Want to know how to recharge your partnership? Try some of these ideas from Mary Scribner.
· Hire a sitter and go on weekly dates. Take this time to have fun together and nurture your time as a couple – don’t discuss your children at all!
· Slip love notes under your spouse’s pillow, in his/her car, or in the mail. Use words of endearment. Give praise. Affirm your love for each other frequently.
· Give loving hugs. Massages. Don’t forget, giving chocolate and flowers can go a long way and NOT just on Valentines Day. Be spontaneous.
· Marital counseling. If you are in constant conflict and unable to work together or find that parenting is driving a wedge between you, then seek professional help. Your child needs a strong parental team. You need to support each other.
· Renegotiate your relationship as two imperfect people who also love each other and don’t forget to use humor as often as possible!!!!
