Nurturing your marriage / relationship when you become parents.

Once you have children, it's hard not to become just Mum & Dad. It's hard not to fall into the regular routines and patterns of looking after little ones.

But you have to prioritise your relationship as a couple too, and find that spark that you had before you became parents. Not only for yourselves, but also to be an example to your children of true love and a healthy partnership.

Having children is usually the highlight of any parents life. They are pure joy, your whole world and everything you could have asked for and more.

But as wonderful as our children are, they do tend to become all consuming in our lives! It’s only natural for this to happen, after all we love them more than life itself and if you could give your heart and soul to your child then you would.

This feeling is designed to make us WANT to look after our children and have a desire to have them as the main aspect of our lives. Without this, the human brain would not focus on our children and they would not be raised and cared for as they need to be.

However, for lots of us (me and Alex included) there comes a point as your child grows older, where you realise your relationship has changed dynamic from a passionate exciting love to being just Mum & Dad.

You have to make a shift to prioritise your own relationship in order to find that spark again and focus on your love for each other.

Not only will this do wonders in your own relationship by making things fun, flirty, exciting and loving again. But it also helps you be more caring, understanding and patient with each other… something that comes in handy when parenting young children together!

And of course, one of the massive benefits to prioritising your relationship, is that your children will notice. They will see exactly what it takes to build and sustain a healthy relationship and what true love really is.

This will set their own expectations for their own future partnerships. I couldn’t think of a more wonderful thing, than your children believing 100% that their parents are soulmates!
