A month before the celebration of Mother’s Day, Sheila Sim talks about the importance of prioritising your partner. She shares some things about putting your partner first in a relationship.
According to her, sometimes, it is an excellent idea to prioritise time with the partner first before kids. By doing so, mums will be able to balance being a mother and a wife perfectly.
There were times when Sheila chose to take a break. Instead of driving to see Layla, the actress sometimes decides to spend a lunch with her husband.
“So today, I choose my happiness; I choose my husband,” said Sheila.
For her, putting your partner first is an essential thing to do. However, keep in mind that spending time together does not always have to mean compromising with the kids. It is all about striking the right balance, which is something that Shiela is good at.
“Nowadays, dates mean going for walks, watching a good movie at home, going nearby for dinner,” she writes.
Most mums agree with her statement because it strengthens marriages and familial relationships. Kids come first, but it is also essential to prioritise your partner.
