Rediscovering Intimacy: Reignite the Passion in Your Relationship
Spruce Up Your Love Life: Learn How Your TV Remote Can Double as a Relationship Counselor!
So, here we are. You're over 24 months post-partum. The baby is practically running their own startup, and you're over here struggling to find the TV remote. Ah, #LifeGoals. The spark that once sizzled in your relationship has now been replaced with binge-watching Netflix and endless diaper dumpathons. But don't fret; we've got the sauciest survival guide to reviving that pre-baby pizzazz in your love life. Grab your wine glass and let's talk about how to go va-va-room in your love room once again!
Have you tried converting baby nap-time into your new power hour? Reminder: Passion isn't always a scheduling conflict.
Picture this: You're tidying up Legos that have been weaponized by your lovely toddler when your partner walks in. The sun-drenched hair, the glistening 'just-mowed-the-lawn' sweat—they still got it. But the vibe turns on a dime when you both remember the last thing you did together was argue about who forgot to wash the bottles. LOL, #Adulting, amrite? It's time to spice things up beyond the usual discussions over diaper brands and sleep schedules.
Your relationship isn't a Netflix show, but you can still binge it! Start with an appetizer of loving glances and sprinkle in some cheeky humor.
Rule Number One: Whatever you do, ditch the notion that reigniting intimacy is a marathon event that requires candles, rose petals, and an awkward Spotify playlist featuring too much Marvin Gaye. Stop waiting for the "right moment" because, spoiler alert, having kids means that moment might only come when they're 18 and off to college. Instead, seize the small moments. Swap that midday diaper duty with a cheeky wink, squeeze a quick impromptu dance party into your normal cooking routine, or whisper sweet nothings in the aisle of Target.
Could your TV remote be your new favorite counselor? Sometimes all you need is a rom-com guide to get back in the groove.
Flashback to before the kiddos—what was your thing? No, we're not talking about your penchant for eating cold pizza; we're talking about the activities and passions that made you the couple friends envied. It’s time for nostalgia! Make new memories by revisiting old favorites, be it the salsa classes that made you both resemble a live-action Zumba video or the uncharted territories of the local farmer's market. You never know what might shake things up.

And, oh, the vaunted date night... Raise your glass to the universe that invented grandparents and babysitters. Repeat after me: It’s okay to ask for help. Turn date night on its head—pun intended. If candlelit dinners and five-star restaurants aren't your groove, make pizza at home, wear your best pajamas, and partake in a game of Scrabble. Who knew the word "seduction" scored so high?

In sum, rekindling romance after becoming a parent doesn’t have to be a colossal undertaking involving mountains of rose petals and Barry White vinyls. No one has time for that level of upkeep, not when you’re already trying to keep another human alive. Embrace the chaos, the humor, and the moments that are quirkier than any rom-com. Remember: kids find joy in cardboard boxes—adults can certainly find it somewhere between tantrums and cooking classes.

And if all else fails, remember: If you can survive stepping on a Lego barefoot, you can do anything. Cheers to you, fearless love warrior!
