We all know the drill, we’ve heard the stories a hundred times, the kids rob you of all your energy and time, by the time they go to bed you are exhausted, but now the clean up operation has to begin. Where do we find the time and energy for our other halves? Sadly as we know rather than bring a couple closer together having children can actually tear a couple apart.I’ve seen it, I’m sure you have.It’s not really that uncommon, logically it makes sense. A couple goes from having free time and energy for each other to having no time and no energy for each other, each of them expecting their partner to do the most obvious thing, anger, resentment and bitterness are the by products of the constant arguing over what and how to do things for the children. After a while that’s all you know.
But keeping the spark in your relationship is possible. Right?
But there are ways to halt the slide, what methods do you use? Please vote and leave your stories below.
*Disclaimer: When I say ‘rob you of all your time and energy’ I’m using that tongue in cheek, i.e. with a hint of irony. Take it to mean ironically ‘rob you of your time and energy’ if that is how you are feeling or ‘after you willingly give your time and energy’ if that is more appropriate.As ever thank you so much for reading, please vote and share.

Thanks so much for your support - it's genuinely appreciated
We all have to eat right and it’s generally once the bed time routine is over with and partners are back from work. We always try to eat together, on the sofa and in front of the tv and then we can sit and chat, unwind etc together. Also always going up to bed at the same time. It’s nice to have that time together – even if I end up having to go to the little ones room at some point.
