How to maintain a close relationship after having children
7 o'clock in the morning: The wife is busy preparing breakfast, packing school bags, and sending the children to school... Before going out, the wife showed an ambiguous expression and asked: "Dear, do you know what day it is today?" At this time, The husband must be confused.
According to the American gender magazine "Red Book", after having children, paying attention to the daily life of the next generation has become the entire family life. However, some research shows that if parents pay too much attention to their children and become distant from each other, the children will feel this unhappiness and lack a sense of security in the family. To resolve the negative impact of children on couple intimacy, American marriage experts have given the following suggestions:
Change starts with small things. Some couples always say: "When the children grow up, we will have time to enjoy the world of two people again." People who hold this idea will only become more and more dissatisfied with reality. In fact, just a little change can make your life completely different. For example, get up 15 minutes early every day, and the two of you can wash up and chat together; or wait for the child to fall asleep and sit together for a while.
Children are not allowed in the world of two. If the couple goes out alone, temporarily forget the fact that they are parents and do not discuss anything about the children. You can talk about the happiest, most embarrassing, or most unhappy thing about the day. Such topics can often be more in-depth and bring each other closer.
Be close at all times. Modern communication technology is so advanced that couples should take full advantage of it. From time to time, send the other person a text message with a smiley face, give him encouragement, or give him a kiss on the phone, and ask him about his plans before and after meals. The key is to let the other person know that you have him/her in your heart at all times.
Happiness comes first. Take advantage of any time the kids aren't around to do things you want to do, such as fast food sex, or use this time to play sports together. Holding each other's hands and hugging each other while falling asleep are all good for intimacy.
Share household chores. Don't let your husband feel that he is doing you a favor by doing housework. This is his marital obligation. The wife can tell the other party directly: "We have to divide the work and cooperate. Otherwise, even if I finish the housework, I will not have the strength or mood to make love with you."
