Priorities

This time is full of responsibilities: children, bills, finances, work, health.....but where does your relationship fit in?

You need to give your relationship equal time to be successful. If you've ever said, "We'll see what happens, then your essentially saying, "I'm going to sit back and do nothing, but still expect something to change." How can the relationship change if you aren't doing anything to make the change happen?

What do you want to happen differently? What are you doing to make that change happen? For example, you want to spend more time with your partner. You and your partner made time for each other when you first met. How did you make time for each other then? You went on dates. You would agree on a time to go out, be picked up at the door and spend an evening together. You did it once! You can do it again! Start by setting at least one night a month for the two of you to go out. Get a babysitter (if needed), make reservations and enjoy the time to reconnect.

Remember, the daily stressors of bills, finances and work will be there the next day. One day the children will be off and having families of their own. Your health may not be what it is today. For all these reasons, today is the day to make a strong connection with your partner....and keep it nourished and healthy.
