Keeping marriage vibrant

Seems like everyday is so filled with kids activities, work, and trying to maintain the house that there’s no time to nurture our marriage. How do you keep your marriage alive and healthy while dealing with a busy life?

Although the obvious answer to your question would be to make time for your spouse - but I that is easier said than done. The most healthy marriages I know of have managed to find a way not only to balance their family and work responsibilities, but have also found the time to nurture their relationship and their own individual needs. One couple I know have a sport that they both enjoy (mountain biking) and they use this as an opportunity to spend time together and cultivate a mutual friend group. Another couple not only have a monthly date night, but they also each have one day on a weekend each month where they look after the kids on their own so that their spouse can take some time out for self care.
When kids are young it can feel as if your life is just one big juggling act, especially with all the running around that parenting requires. Friends of mine were finding it so difficult to make time to talk, that they started both going along when running the kids to evening activities and social events just so that they could use the commuting time for conversation.
It is so important that you make time for your relationship because before you know it, your kids won't need you quite so much and you want to make sure that you and your partner still have a solid relationship.
