Pulse writes about how having an extra-marital affair
is a symptom that your relationship is unhealthy and is taking a nose
dive. According to relationship experts, one way to protect your
marriage against affairs is to keep your sex life and physical intimacy a
priority.
Dr. Michelle Golland of Momlogic gives tips on how to avoid the decline of desire in your marriage it doesn’t result in infidelity:
-
Put your kids to sleep early. Too many couples keep their kids up too late for a variety of reasons, but if you can do the initial work of getting a solid bedtime between 7-8 o’clock, this will allow some quality time between you and your spouse. Feeling recharged is key to avoid the depleting experience of raising kids.
-
Use babysitters. Time alone as a couple is not a luxury as much as it is a necessity. If you can’t afford a babysitter, then do an exchange with a friend or join a co-op sitters’ club in your neighborhood. Dates don’t need to be during the evening. Drop your kid off at a friend’s house for 3 hours and go home and get back in bed together. An afternoon delight can be the best way to enjoy each other.
-
Sex starts in the morning. What I mean by this is be kind to each other. Make loving gestures. As an exhausted working mom, I know there is nothing sexier than my husband doing the dishes after dinner or giving the kids a bath. Couples make the mistake that our relationships are built on “big moments,” but really it is the small loving gestures that inoculate us from disconnection and resentment.
