1. Make it a priority to schedule date nights. Find a babysitter and enjoy a romantic dinner together. If it isn't possible to find someone to look after the kids, go ahead and prepare a meal for after they fall asleep. It might not be the most intimate of ways to accomplish this goal, but it will get the job done. Afterwords go ahead and snuggle up on the sofa and watch your favorite television show, or share a bottle of wine, talk, and relax. Be creative with it and make the most of the time.
2. Learn something new together. Age is just a number, and you are never to old to learn something new, it is quite fun. What would be ideal is to find a hobby that needs to be developed over time, such as tennis or golf. Cooking classes, learning a new language, and card games are other options. The connection can take place during the process of becoming better and improving.
3. Keep the lines of communication open. Many relationship problems stem from a lack of discussing topics. No matter what is going on, share it, whether it is positive or negative, don't hold back. It's also important to truly listen to what your partner has to say, and respect the fact that you won't always agree. This one thing can't be overlooked and is the foundation in which we are talking about in this post.
4. Stay in touch with your loved ones. When life gets hectic, it's easy to lose touch with family and friends. However, in order have a happy, well balanced life, you need to remain close to the people who will support you, just as you will do the same for them. If you currently are not doing this, pick up the phone and dial often, or send emails.
