Rekindle your marriage
Have you been married for a while now and things seem to be spiraling into a whirlwind of different schedules for all family members?Do you find little time for romance,routines daily that seem to be robotic like, schedules to keep, commitments to others that take time from the family dynamics?Do you feel you and your husband need to rekindle the bonds that brought you together in the first place?
The first thing to do is consider all the distractions of daily life. With children,time commitments can be significant and can be all encompassing.There are deadlines to be met, school meetings, sports, birthday parties, homework, shopping, and it seems never ending sometimes. These things all help a child to develop social skills and are very important; however, so is your time alone with your spouse and you must try to find a balance.
Maybe you can figure a way to lighten the burden on both of you with regards to all the children's activities by involving others, such as grandparents or aunts and uncles, to take on some of the picking up and dropping off chores. Most grandparents would love to have more time with their grandkids and would find the drive time a good opportunity to communicate more with the kids. What seems like a chore to you could be very enjoyable for the grandparents.

What seems like a chore to you could be very enjoyable for the grandparents.
Today kids are busy too that they often have little time to spend hours with grandparents so these encounters can be a special time. Maybe you can have a party away from your home at a eatery or at an event centre so you do not have to spend hours cleaning and preparing foods, etc.
There are many games places and recreation centre which kids will love and will teach them the joys of being outside and nature. the time they are there with an aunty can be a good time for you and your husband to take a short walk together and discuss some important issues or just relax and spend the time together.
The idea is to look at the week activities and see what time you can carve out for you and your husband alone.To have that time to speak to your spouse uninterrupted and to show care and concern are vital to a good marriage.It will make the time you do spend with the children much more productive for them and you as well.
A child senses when the parents are in happy in their marriage. The old saying, "The best gift you can give a child is happy parents" holds true in this modern day and age when everyone is so rushed and so intent on doing everything quickly.Take some time to preserve your love and concern for your husband or wife and it will pay off in happier children and more loving and nurturing for the family as a whole.
Plan your life and do not just let the world set up all the pressures that need to be met. Make your own goals for your family, your marriage, and your peace of mind.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasnt looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each
other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of
your time and money to help people who had nothing,
and I learned that those who have something should
give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn' t
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking! I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle,
teacher, friend) influences the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today? Just by
referring someone to this blog, you will probably make
them at least think about their influence.
