Since the day we found out we were pregnant, our way of thinking and priority changed. Everyday a little more and a little different. We have tried very much to always remember that we are not only parents but we are a couple too.
A relationship it's a big part of being parents. It's the basis that form a unit to become parents, and yet it's the one thing we put in the back burner so easy this days. I believe that in order to become and continue to be great parents, we have to make time for "US" and our relationship. Making sure we have to communicate, everyday little things, concerns and laughter. To hold each other's hand, have time to go and dress up for a nice date. To seat in room that's not our bedroom and does not have any toys. (or tv...lol) To remind each other why we felt in love !
We find it very hard to make time for our relationship as our day to day schedule are very hectic and conflicting in times. And of course first in our list it's always parenting. We tent to believe to that "us/couple" we have time for it later, when the girls are sleep. Our girls seem to be growing very fast, and the more they grow the more attention they need and the more challenges come our way.
It's very easy to talk about the importance of staying in touch with each other, and making time for us. But it's the biggest challenge we face, with all the little distractions we face from, being tired, dinner to cook, cleaning, working, TV, internet, parenting, everyday house shores.
Date night seemed like the best idea, yet we lack having help with girls and babysitters don't come as easily as one may think. We have made an extra effort finally to book time just for us.
