tips to bring back that loving feeling?

It has been 6 years of marriage and we have 3 kids. Seems that taking care of our kids has taken a toil on our marriage. Any tips to bring back that loving feeling?

It is common that after the arrival of children, the couple take on the role of parents and forgot that they are also “husband and wife”. It is inevitable as children take up much of your attention and time. If you are working and your children have daycare arrangements, consider taking half-day offs to go on a date with your husband. Have real conservations and try to leave the kids out of the topics. If you are not working and going out in the afternoon is not possible, you can try to arrange for your children to have a sleepover at your in-laws, or have someone to look after them for a couple of hours. The key is to go on a date without the children and without feeling “parents guilt”. If going out on a couple’s date is really not an option, spend a few minutes before sleeping to have a simple chat. Again, talk about anything but the kids.
