What do you guys do with your so? Looking for advice

Question

Backstory- Okay so we have been together 8+ years. I have a nine year old who means the world to us both. We have never been on a vacation or anything without her (which really isn’t an option) I am pregnant and I feel like we have just lost romance (other than sex.) 
I want to do stuff, it seems like we are just bored... what do you guys do?  I want to be able to show my love in a way other than sex. I love him very much, I just feel like we could do more.

Answer

Make time for each other just the 2 of you. No kids, no TV, no phones, no distractions. Even if it is 15-20 minutes before you go to bed. Find a babysitter so you can have more time every once in a while. Find ways to give physical attention  without it necessarily leading to sex. Holding hands, hugs, cuddles, small kisses, etc. Find activities you can do together like a cooking class or whatever your interests are.

Answer

After you put the kids to bed (if you have kids): Watch TV together before bed (find a show that the both of you can sit and watch together) It can be on Netflix or a series on Cable. It should be a TV show in a series, that way it becomes a daily routine. Also watch a movie together one day out of the week. Cook dinner together a few days out of the week or every day, if that works for you. Send loving text messages to one another during the day, tell your partner how much he means to you often. Kiss him before he leaves and say I love you every time. Kiss him before rolling over to sleep at night, also tell him I love you before closing your eyes. Pray with him. (If you’re into that sort of thing) Hold hands often, while sitting on the couch together, while out in public. Eat dinner together, at a dining room table, TV OFF. Talk about your day with him and let him share with you how his day was. Express your concerns to him and let him express his to you. Communicate often about everything; your concerns, your wishes, something goofy that happened during your day, literally ANYTHING. These are just a few of the things that my husband and I make a habit of doing on a daily basis. Having kids can make your relationship stressful, I’ve been with my husband for 8 years, we’ve been married for 5 of those years. It has not been easy and we’ve been through a lot of things, but we always take time for one another and communicate. You don’t have to do extravagant things to improve your relationship. Just simple little things will do it. Let your spouse know how much you care and love him by your actions. Actions speak louder than words. I wish you both the best! 💛🌸
