It’s that time of year again. You either love it or you hate it, it’s Valentine’s Day! Earlier today I heard from a group of moms talking about what they planned on doing with their dear husbands on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, I noticed a re-occurring theme: Kids suck the romance out of our relationships.

It doesn’t have to be romantic all the time! However, here are a few tips to keep those sparks flying before, during, and after your “bundle of joy” arrives.

Share: Talk about your day. Communication is key to a happy and healthy relationship. Although you may not be able to relate with what took place throughout your spouse’s day, listening to him/her shows that you care. Pay attention to verbal and nonverbal communication. Actions can speak volumes sometimes. Stop, listen, and hear what your spouse is saying. Be open and honest. Express your needs and concerns, your joys and complaints.

Date: Just because you are pregnant or have kids doesn’t means that you can’t have a romantic dinner with your husband. If you are on bed rest, don’t worry. Have a picnic in bed with sparking apple cider and chocolate covered strawberries. If you already have kids, spend some quality time after the little ones go to sleep. Being together is much more important than fancy dinner and cocktails.

Babymoon: Like a honeymoon, a babymoon is a vacation/staycation. A babymoon allows you take sometime to bond with each other before the baby comes and appreciating the change you and your spouse are about to embark on together.

It’s not an easy task, but hopefully with this tips there still be a little spark for many Valentine days to come.
