To Busy Working to Work It?
How to put some spice back into your love life?
Sometimes our lives as mothers, workers and carers run away from us and we lose that connection with our partner. So here are a few quick tips to keep up the romance.
Long, long, oh so very long work days can leave anyone drained. So what about a working mother? Children, work, pet, partner and themselves (and often in that order). Your relationship with your partner shouldn’t pay the price of motherdom, because hey thats how you got your kids in the first place isn’t it?
So how can you give the spice in your love life? Here are a few tipsto keep the romance blossoming through time constrained days and nights…you can pass these on to the fellas too (as you are the ones who should be getting swooned).
Love Letters – Well it could just be a note that can be placed under the pillow, in the brief case, in the lunch box, text messaged or emailed. For that added romance why not hand write a little poem and put it in the letterbox!!
Sweet treats – If you don’t have time to bake then not to worry how about you buy a little somethin’ somethin’ and put it in their lunchbox (or they can put it in yours).
Date nights – Whether it is once a week, fortnight or month a working mother not only deserves a night out. If you are partnered or single you should take a regular date night. This is a time where you can focus on your relationship, it is also something to look forward to and you can get all dressed up!
Everyday time – Take time everyday to spend with each other. This may be a regular 30 minutes before the kids get up to share a coffee, or to share a night cap after they have gone to sleep. Take time to listen to your partners day and for them to listen to you. Days, weeks and years fly by so quickly that it is easy to lose track of what is going on in each others lives.
Why do you need to keep your spark alive? – For yourself, your partner and your children, A happy relationship shows children what a good solid relationship looks like and hey it keeps those endorphins up too!
