Is it possible to keep a solid relationship with your spouse after a child is born? It seems to be impossible to stick to the date night theory (once a month lets plan a date). Our child brings us so much joy and I would not change that but it seems like our lives are all about him. That is not a bad thing per say but we have not time for just us. Our love life is planned around naps or bedtime. It seems that sometimes I can see the toll it takes on our relationship.

love is giving,caring and important most sacrificing. sacrificing intimacy for the sake of our kids. pls note that passionate flame will never die just because of kids. infact the flame ever burning, waiting for the right touch and the right moment

Impossible to stick to date night once per month?? This is a must.. We have date night at least twice per month. Then again my daughter is 10.. We have been doing this since she was around 3. Before that it was morwe like once a month. It's easy-- set money aside each week for a sitter.. r have family watch your child. Go out for a movie and dinner... or rent a movie and stay in (order in of course).. You have to have that adult one on one bonding time.. Keep your love life active... Even if it means during nap time or bedtime... It is usually that way when you have youngsters.. Not like you can lock your bedroom door and let them roam free around the house- Good luck..

Of course it's possible in the bedtime, when Your child is sleeping. Life is not only to have lovely one by your side .
You must know that complete life is to be married and to have children. This is a meaning of life. Yes this is hard life but this is what is supposed to do.
