We' ve 2little kids. We love each other but have no couple time. We're unhappy bc we're like partners now.

Question

We get frustrated & angry at each other. My husband says we have to get used to it until the kids grow up, but I think that we cannot put our relationship on hold, that would simply end it...We love our kids, both work full time, have no help. We want to be a loving, happy couple again, not just parents. How do others do it?

Answer 1

Invest a little of your money every week for a babysitter-or even if it's just ONE weekend a month- it's better than nothing. Find a babysitter that will work that specific weekend every month- use this time to have nice dinners, go to shows or movies.......

Let that one weekend be your getaway- it doesn't even have to be out of town..........you can still be close to home in case of any emergencies. You'd be surprised how just that one weekend will refresh your marriage and home life.  

Answer 2

my husband and i play with the children until it is time to go to bed, while were playing with the children we tend to set the moment by whispering sweet things in each others ears with out the children picking up on it, make it fun for you and him an still have time for the children, as the night goes on feed the children bathe them what ever make sure there in the bed at 8:30pm give your kisses good night, closed the door and let mommy & daddy time beging set the mood talking with candles and no tv, or just holding and caressing each other it will go from there..you were alway a happy couple but its just the responsibility of responsible parents and kudos for that.

Answer 3

Don't you have other friend couples? Maybe you could each take turns watching the children for each other, help each other out that way.

Answer 4

It is tough being parents but I do believe all parents "should"have couple time..date eachother once a week..even if it at home after your kids go to bed..or else have someone come over and watch your kids while you go out for a stroll/watch movie or whatever you both enjoy.

Life doesnot wait for anyone so why put a hold on your relationship...it is very important for you to spend time with eachother too..all the best.

Answer 5

It can be hard to find time for each other. Pay a babysitter once every couple of weeks and go out and do something. You can also have couple time after the kids are in bed. Curl up on the couch and watch a movie together. If you want to save your relationship then you need to find time for each other.
