The next chapter of my self improvement is to be a better partner to my partner. For so long it has been just him supporting us and while I appreciate him amd everything he has done, sometimes I think he doesn't realize how much. We also drive each other crazy because it is literally just us and the kids almost all day everyday.
So, here is my plan to gain a better relationship:
1. Establish a date night. One night a week, every two weeks, or every month. A night for the two of us to go out alone to dinner, a movie, bowling, whatever. Just a time for us to be alone and have an adult conversation without being interrupted. As of right now, we average 1 date night every 3 to 4 months. That can't be healthy for this relationship.
2. Let him have his night with the boys every two weeks. Since we are around each other almost 24/7, he needs to have his guy time doing manly things instead of helping me change diapers.
3. Spend more time together when the boys are asleep. While I get the boys to bed he is always down stairs. After I get them to sleep I feel so drained from the day that I end up falling asleep right after them. It would be a good time to rent a movie and grab some popcorn and cuddle up on thr couch for some time together.
We do spend so much time together, but it always with the kids. I believe that any relationship needs to have time away from the kids. Even if it is just a movie on the couch when they kids go to bed.
What are some ways you improved your relationship?
