You lead a real life with real things to do! It's so normal! However, that being said, there are always ways to romance-up your real life. Date nights are great! And even just a fancy dinner at home can be really romantic - even hamburgers and fries over candlelight with a bottle of wine will do! And start leaving little love notes on post it arounds your house (and in the car) to your man. Just little things can make a big difference!Sara McCartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942635767083902005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259956722912578820.post-90695033388232618342010-08-09T20:16:31.621-04:002010-08-09T20:16:31.621-04:00BEEN THERE!

And then when you get a little bit of yourselves back you can resume. Cook some dinner in some (sparky clothes) now that you can. Before you know it you'll have more animals (the human kind) and a droopy ass. Enjoy the now!!!E.

TOTALLY NORMA...(Caution: Novel-length post ahead.)<br /><br />TOTALLY NORMAL.<br /><br />I think the best way to keep the romance alive is two-fold:<br /><br />1. You have to find the romance in the mundane. Do you ever watch The King of Queens? There's an episode where Carrie is mad at Doug for not being as romantic as he used to be. He sends her a bunch of flowers and crap to be romantic... But that makes her feel worse. So they revert back to normal. And she finds that just snuggling up with him to watch TV, and having him wipe off some schmutz from her face, is actually quite sweet. And that kind of thing IS sweet and romantic. I try to concentrate on those things... The way my husband pats my head when he walks past me... The way we kiss each other goodbye when he heads to work... The way he grabs my rear while I do dishes. They are small but if you look for them, they're there. And they start to mean so much more than the flowers.<br /><br />2. Make time for each other. I KNOW it gets busy. But plan a dinner where you eat at the table by candlelight. Or go out for a movie. Or take a night in a nearby B&B. Seriously. It is SO IMPORTANT to take time "off" from your real lives. <br /><br />You two sound really comfortable and happy and busy. Romance is not the same when you're married. But it can be so much better.Life of a Doctor's Wifehttp://lifeofadoctorswife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259956722912578820.post-61987921351672589572010-08-02T13:37:40.007-04:002010-08-02T13:37:40.007-04:00Rob and I go through the same thing and did even b...Rob and I go through the same thing and did even before Luke. You have to recognize it and plan a date or short getaway and get some romance in! :)<br /><br />After kids it's a lot different but you fall in love with your partner all over again and see them in such a different light. And it's hectic and it's tiring and it's not easy but sometimes when you are sitting on the couch watching a movie and the dog is laying on the floor keeping your feet warm you will almost want to start crying out of sheer happiness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
