When “We” Becomes “Three”
If you’re more familiar with kid talk than the language of love these days, try scheduling regular alone time with your partner. Though it’s natural for a couple’s roles as parents to overshadow their roles as lovers for a while, it’s in your best interest to find a balance between the two, says Lea Tufford, a marriage and family therapist in Toronto. Let a trusted friend babysit while the two of you sneak off for coffee, lunch or even a walk. “It’s not about having an elaborate weekend away,” says Tufford. “It’s about focusing on each other and having conversations about your relationship, friends, current events or the next vacation you want to take together – anything that relates to you as a couple.
