5 Easy Ways to Fuel Your Marriage after the Birth of a Child

Date Night

Our First date night after Thomas was born (3 weeks).

When we bring that little one home from the hospital, we want to give them the best of everything. We nurse or buy the best formula for their little tummies. We get the fancy diapers, softest blankets, and newest gadgets. We cuddle and love and nurture that little one–giving them the best of ourselves. Some new and expectant parents wonder what is it that my newborn really needs? What is the best thing I can do for this child who now holds my heart? 

One of the best things you can do for your newborn really does not involve your newborn at all.

    Love this post! Thank you for linking up with Tuesday Tips. I’ve always been told, the best way for a father to love his children is to love their mother. What a powerful legacy to grow up in a loving home. If we could all see a positive caring relationship first hand, well…the world would be a better place. :)

    Great tips! My husband and I send texts to each other. I always giggle because it sort of feels like we are teenagers. Date nights are so important and usually the last thing a new parent is thinking about!

      It does feel a bit tweenish doesn’t it? Makes it more fun! haha!

    My mom always said the best thing you can do for your kids … is to love your husband.
