Relationship Goal

Who would have thought that having kids is a game changer?

Before kids, Sean and I used to go on a date night every weekend. We used to explore new places, try new restaurants, go to karaoke and sing our hearts out, do mini getaways, try different kind of food trucks, go bowling and golfing, and million other fun things. Don't get me wrong, we feel so blessed with Skye and Summer. No matter how frustrating it is sometimes, they are fun and precious. I wouldn't change a thing. Still, we, as a couple need to have a quality time together. Date night is very important to us and since we don't have any family around, we need a great babysitter that we can trust and reliable. Fortunately, we just found two! They're on call and we feel very comfortable with them. With that saying, we can't wait to enjoy each other again like we used to. Here are some tips on how to keep our relationship alive and exciting ...

• Obviously, date nights. It doesn't have to be fancy, can be at home having a quiet dinner without the kids, or go to your favorite restaurant and enjoy the food and each other.
• Cards. I told Sean before that I love readings cards, specially on certain occasion. No matter what kind of gifts he gives me, if he doesn't give me a card, I'd be disappointed and so far he never failed me ... And I love it more when he always writes a sweet note in it.
• Open communications about everything, even sensitive topics. Sean is such a good communicator and I'm learning a lot from him. We talk about our finances, our goal in life, our wants and needs. We know each other like an open book.
• Compliment each other whenever you can. Most of the time, I feel that I look like a chicken without a head. Life gets so busy with kids and mostly I'm on my tshirt, yoga pants, and hair up. He's still saying that I look hot and usually I respond with "Psssh, shut up ... You always say that because I'm your wife." But inside, I smile a little bit ;)
• Call and text each other no matter how busy your day is. He's the most person I'm texting, I text him over a thousand texts in a month. Go figure!

With that saying, everyone has their own principle and favorites. Just try to make the most of it for your relationship. A healthy relationship equals a happy family.
