I am a married mother of 2 kids.My husband and I feel like we are losing ourselves lately from trying so hard to be good parents.My husband works full time and I am a SAHM so we rarely have time to ourselves.He is usually tired when Im awake looking for something to do.On his days off,he usually wants to hang out with friends and I'm left with the kids.Anywho,most days we seem more like FWB than spouses because we dont have any options for keeping the relationship fresh.I heard date nights are a good idea but we dont have anyone reliable nearby to keep the kids and really cant afford a sitter.How can we make time to do something to strenghthen our relationship and not spend too much?

What we do is after the kids are in bed we get ourselves a bottle of wine and a takeaway and sit down and enjoy it together.

You could also hire a dvd and have a movie and popcorn night.

I love cooking so on special occassions, once the kids are in bed I will cook a fancy 3 course meal and get a really good bottle of wine.

You can give each other massages.

Play board/card games.



There's so much you can do that won't cost alot of money, you just need to use abit of imagination.
