As busy mothers, we tend to get stuck in our children's lives and put all our energy into it, but you also need to remember that in your life, there are other people who desire someone --on-
Once with you, that's your husband.
As mothers, we tend to put all our energy into planning the day for everyone, making sure everyone is able to reach their intended destination, be picked up, fed, showered, go to bed, the house was clean but we forgot to save a little energy for our husband.
I know this is the last thing you want to hear, but please hear me out.
Not only do you need to spend time with your husband, but you have to do so.
Remember how much you enjoyed being together when you were young, only you two, in front of your children.
Just because you have children doesn't mean you can't have children anymore.
I'm here to tell you that you can!
But you really have to work hard.
Here are some things you can try: * make dinner for the kids and let them go to bed early.
Then, make dinner for you and your husband.
It may be something the kids have, but add a little spice to it with a beautiful tablecloth and a few candles.
Take out the "good" dish.
Even the simplest dish will make you feel novel and romantic.
Take the time to chat and catch up with each other's day.
Who knows this will lead to * planning a day when you both go for a walk together and even go out for dinner together to have someone else look after the kids.
Better yet, plan a day when the kids are at school and you can all be at home and stay at home.
Plan a great meal and see the movies you 've always wanted to watch but don't have time to watch.
Spend time chatting.
The children sit on the porch and chat after lying in bed every night.
You will be surprised by the topics you can find that have nothing to do with your child.
Remember, you used to do this before you had a child and you could do it again.
* Pick up a card and his favorite candy at the store, lie on his bedside table or pillow, and even tuck it into his lunch box when he doesn't look.
When he finds out, he will know that you are thinking about him and you love him.
Now, please don't think I'm perfect and have been doing all these things all the time.
I preach to the choir here.
Like every mom outside, I tend to immerse myself in my daily life and forget some small things.
But I can tell you that when I forget to be with my husband, it does show up in our relationship.
Again, this is illustrated when we spend time together.
I am lucky to be married to my best friend for 16 years and I pray that God will give us more time together.
I can honestly say that we are still very in love and very happy to get married, but it is only because we have learned over time to make sure that we take time out.
No, it's not selfish.
This helps to strengthen our relationship with our children as husbands and wives and mothers and fathers.
We try to show our children how important it is to make sure we take time out of each other in marriage.
They see how much we love each other and how this love spreads to them, because they see that we care enough about each other to make sure that we keep the lines of communication open between us, it also helps us to keep the communication lines open to them.
Just as your kitchen is the heart of your home, the love you share with your husband should be second only to God and the heart and soul of your family.
The love you show each other is the love your child will show others.
