Sometimes my husband and I are having difficulties in finding ways to bond and just talk about life. He would usually download movies/series for us to watch, but suddenly our baby would wake up and want to breastfeed or have his diaper changed. So sometimes we would just look at each other and end up doing our own thing. What are some ways you do to make your husband feel like he is still your priority? What unique activities do you do to keep your relationship interesting?

I guess husbands understand this and yes, there can be ways to make up time for each other, but I don't think there would be any need to make him feel that he still is your priority. All parents go through this phase, and trust, if you share doing thing for the kid, the bond only grows. And then, if the you both are having good time in each other's company, and the kid poops, you both end up looking at each other; sighing, laughing, nodding sideways or saying, 'again'. Rest, I guess when the baby is asleep you both can have a candle light dinner, or make something together in the kitchen. Give each other a head massage. Put your husband's favourite movie and before he is home, do the setting of the home, and give him a surprise. You can also make his favourite dish. While going to change the diaper or attending to the baby you give a peck on his cheek, little gestures do big tricks to keep the bonding between husband and wife intact. http://powertochange.com/sex-love/new-baby-distant-husband/
