4 Ways To Sneak In More Alone Time

Wake Up Before the Kids

Though it may be an adjustment at first, wake up together 20 minutes before the kids get up in the morning.  Spend those 20 minutes sipping coffee, catching up, or just snuggling together in bed. 

Start your day off right by having some quality alone time together before the craziness of the day begins.  That little bit of connection will help you feel closer to each other all day.

Weeknight Date Night

Let’s face it, having a consistent date night can be challenging.  There are endless excuses that can be made to get out of it.  But, the truth is, regular date nights are a vital part of keeping a marriage strong.

Time alone together will give you a chance to reconnect, a chance to remind yourself what you love about your spouse, a chance to give each other undivided attention.  Schedule a regular, at home, date night after the kids go to bed.  Keep the TV and phones off. Keep conversation neutral and away from talk about money, work or any other topics that tend to be stressors. 

Get back to the basics. Learn new things about each other and keep it fun and light. 

This regular alone time will do wonders for the strength of your marriage.
