I've been with my husband for well over a decade now. We all know how it is at the beginning of a new relationship. But when you've been together for a while, and there's three kids in the mix, everyone knows that things can slide a bit.
The demands of a young family, plus working on rather intense projects didn't ring out the best in us or our marriage I have to say. But we made a commitment to create more time for each other. Even if it's just movie night in the lounge when the kids are asleep. It's just our time together and it's so important to have that time to connect.
So what I'd like to know is that those of you who have been with your partners for a while now, do you still make time for date nights, and how hard/easy has it been to make the effort?
When the children were much younger, organizing dates with the hubster was always a bit tricky, especially as I didn't know many people where we were living so finding a babysitter wasn't the easiest thing in the world. We did however try to make time for each by going out on dates whenever we could. Now that both my kids are young adults, my husband and I definitely go out a lot more. Whether you're newlyweds or have been together as long as we have, it's definitely important.
