Keeping the romance alive in your marriage can sometimes be a challenge once the babies start coming.

No one will accuse you of loving your baby any less if you and your spouse sets aside an evening every week or every other week for date night. Dinner, a movie, bowling, skating, strolling through a museum…whatever pleases you. Just don’t make it an evening to talk about the kids. Talk about your goals as a family, plan a vacation, talk about household projects, the latest book you’ve read, the latest neighbourhood or office gossip…anything but the kids.
