Having a baby is one of the most beautiful decisions you can make in this busy world where people have no time to even make memories. An embodiment of your love, a person you can cherish and construct with all your best thoughts and emotions. The joy that a child brings to your life is undeniably the most wonderful experience ever. A child makes your family complete. However, a child also demands everything out of you. Nurturing another human being to existence is a very challenging, difficult and trying exercise. The amount of care and effort that is required to bring up a child often leaves couples with no time for each other.
There are many instances where couples have drifted apart due to the arrival of a baby that feeds on love. Mothers undergo post partum depression and can think of almost nothing other than rearing the child. Fathers often find the shift in the dynamics disturbing and fall into their own depression. It is essential in times like these for couples to spend time together and here is how.
Park strolls
Whether your child is still restricted to the stroller or he is a toddler making friends in the park, your walk together in the park with your spouse will bring you closer and help you enjoy a beautiful time together. The greenery and the laughter that ensues in parks will be a delight not just for your child but also for you and your spouse. So never miss out on an opportunity to visit parks now that movies and fine dining are off the list. You can also view workout online and practice some together.
Meals
Meal times will be extended now, that is to be certain. It will take a long time for your kid to accomplish this task on his own, and it can get tedious alone, but if you and your spouse indulge in this together, it will become one of the best memories ever. You will not only get time to spend with your spouse but also capture the goofy shenanigans of your kid.
Play time
Trying to educate your children through various interactive games and watching them progress is a fantastic experience. When you and your spouse together try to inculcate the atmosphere of learning it will help you spend quality family time together. Try and read together when your child is busy exploring on his or her own. Children notice these things, and will eventually also take up to reading.
Bedtime stories
The obsession for stories will transpire to bed and here is another opportunity for you to spend some time with your spouse. Get creative and make stories together. Don’t let this become a one person job. Once your kid blissfully falls asleep, you can get your share of snuggles too.
All these small activities, though trying, are worth it at the end of the day. Your lives will be changing rapidly, and it might get frustrating at times, but you are certain to appreciate the decision in hinder sight.
