In a Rut

Hi!! DH and I are in a bit of a rut lately. It seems like we don't do anything as a couple that does't involve watching TV which gets so old. I hate TV.  We've got two kids so we don't leave the house much during the week but are still starving for some couple time where we actually connect. What do you and your DH do to keep the spark alive?

Re: In a Rut

  • Having kids we get that feeling. Some of my absolute favorite memories of us is when we would turn off every electronic device and just talk or wrestle around. Majority of the time we would end up laughing so hard we cry. I think it's important to just turn of the tv majority of the week. Or at least 3 days a week. Then just be together. For us we don't have to get out of the house to have a good time but we have fallen into ruts before. It sucks. 

    I also use that time to have him teach me random things. If my husband isn't super tired if I offer to do something different he jumps at the chance. Once I asked him to teach me how to use different types of tools and we had a lot of fun. 

    Really there are tons of things you can do at home you just have to be more creative.

    Board games, card games, puzzles, make a game together (H and I are doing this), picnic/dessert in the living room on the floor, concoct fun drinks/food to share, cuddle on the couch/bed and just talk.
  • Just make time for each other! Don't watch TV after putting the kids to bed and cuddle, have sex, or have a conversation. If possible, try and have a date night at least once every week or two weeks. The key is making time for the two of you to spend together.

    ^This! It sounds like the problem is that you are bored of watching TV not of each other, so reconnect!
