25 Questions to Reconnect With Your Spouse.

It’s very easy to lose that close connection with your spouse. If you have kids, it’s almost bound to happen. Between trying to juggle schedules and work, trying to squeeze in time for you and your spouse is really a tireless effort.

Sometimes we disconnect even though it is not our intention. As a mother of young children somedays, I don’t even know if I’ve showered! Gross, I know, but it’s the truth. Parents have little time for date nights and romantic evenings. In fact, we don’t even have a regular babysitter so our date nights are solely on Valentine’s day or our anniversary. Therefore, we try to do a lot of our date nights at home once the kids are in bed.

How to Reconnect

I’ve learned that time to reconnect has to be scheduled. I know how sterile that sounds! But hey, if I were to wait for it to happen organically, it would never happen! Am I right?

I find I have to make it a priority and pencil it in like any other thing that is important. Reconnecting isn’t expensive. Sometimes it’s as simple as just having a conversation together and redefining where you want your marriage and family to go. It’s learning about your spouse. After all, people grow and change. Our goals and dreams change. If you aren’t growing together, you’ll grow apart.

It’s not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Frederich Nietzsche

  1. When I held down the Pinterest button to pin your article about 25 ways to reconnect with your spouse (from MeWe) this is what popped up. You may want to reconsider this sponsor. Assuming that’s the issue…
    Well, I took a screenshot to show you, and I’m not able to add any kind of picture to this comment. It was a picture of a wedding couple cutting cake. Both of the bride’s breasts were almost fully on the outside of her dress. The heading encouraged you to look closely. It said it was sponsored by “WordSa.”

    1. Hey Nadine, I don’t have that issue. Can you screenshot it and send it to Marylentz13@gmail.com. And can you clarify for me, is it the pin button at the bottom of the post or the one that hovers as you scroll. I’m not sure what you mean by “this sponsor” either. I appreciate you reporting this.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
