        Seems that once marriage grows longer, communication seems harder…and especially so with kids… 有心无力!! So tiring…and no help to

        "park" the kids and cant leave kids alone with maid…

          I’ve seen couples in restaurant having meals…both doing their own things…like reading or playing with handphone…then food came and ate quietly…quite sad right?

            Q) how do i maintain my relationship with my spouse?

            MyA) lots of jokes, teasing, smses, eat together (at least dinner), go to bed at the same time, go to the door to greet when one leaves/reaches home, leave troubles at work at the doorstep before entering (having said that, my dh is a totally different person at work and at home; and i told him that i won't want to work with/under him 😓)

              Going to bed at the same is important. I agree with what jedamum says. I used to go to

              bed much later than hubby and it did put a strain on our relationship as it felt as
              though we were both living separate lives. I try to go to bed earlier nowadays so
              can catch up with him before we sleep also.

              Taking short breaks together is also great for us. Like this weekend we are going
              to jb for short break to relax and spend time together. Sometimes we also
              go to spas on his off days. That is also considered a mini holiday for us. 😂

                  That’s true. Good thing I have my mum who can help out sometimes. Those who have

                  no one to help may need to wait till kids are older.

                    We see our colleagues for longer duration than husband so it is important to me to keep physical closeness, a quick kiss on the lips before we go on separate ways to work and a nice hug before going to sleep help to maintain the mental closeness.

                      Good thread. Nice to read the "little" things that are done to keep the relationship "fresh". Kudos to all. What’s important is the effort taken to maintain the relationship.
