I want to share how to make time for each other when the rest of life can get crazy.
How to Make Time for Each Other (when life gets crazy)
- Schedule it in: Some people need to schedule their workouts in so there is nothing wrong with scheduling in date nights or time together. We make it a point to put date nights or potential date nights on the calendar. We are far less likely to skip them or cancel them.
- Unplug: When you are spending time together, put the phones away. This is something we are constantly working on being better at. The social media will always be there.
- Do a project: Maybe you need to organize a closet, or paint a bedroom or something else around the house. Doing a project together is a great way to spend time as a couple.
- Take advantage of days off: My husband teaches psychology part time at a local University so hours a very flexible and I work for myself so I can take a day off whenever.
- At home date nights: When you have kids, an at home date night is sometimes the best you can do. While we make going out on dates a priority it just doesn’t always work. We’ve had to cancel dates because the kids have been sick. So cooking a meal together, or even picking up take out is fun. We have done puzzles, watched movies, played games, or just talked.
These are just a few examples of how to make time for each other. I would love to know if you have anything you’d add?
