Stay Connected

Being a parent is a full-time job.  It can change you in ways you've never imagined and it can change your relationship with your spouse.  But marriage should never be neglected.  Your relationship is the foundation of your family. Strong marriage=strong family.  Loving marriage=loving family.  Fun marriage=fun family.  It goes hand-in-hand.  

Most of the time, we're too busy to be daddies and mommies that we forget to wear the hubby or the wife hat.  Spend time with each other.  It doesn't have to be one full day or two hours aways from the kids.  10 minutes a day can still be as meaningful as you want it to be.  When you maintain a healthy relationship, lovingly nurturing it regularly, you feel that you are strongly connected to each other.  This allows you to become a better parent, a better person.  And no, I don't think spending some quiet time alone with your spouse makes you a bad parent.
