Giving care to a newly born, managing household chores, and having a career or job can make it very hard to give quality time to your husband. This is the time when differences emanate and start to ruin a good married life. But exerting some effort can surely help bring back the warmth and fortify your relationship with your hubby. Here are tips that can help you and your husband bond well with each other even after having a new addition to your family:

1. Don’t forget that both you and your hubby are facing obstacles in your parenthood. While motherhood is physically and emotionally challenging, fatherhood increases your hubby’s responsibility to provide for the family. In most cases, it’s the communication gap that could lead in misunderstandings that might lead to unnecessary fights and arguments. So it is essential to talk to each other regarding the struggles both of you experience, your feelings, the think of probable solutions together.

2. Taking care of and raising an infant is very challenging. See to it that your mate understands this and helps you do managing the home which were your sole responsibility before having a child. To make things easier, both of you should share responsibilities and help each other. Doing so will help relax both the mind and the body and also makes your marital bond become stronger.

3. You and your husband may have opposing ways to dealing with the little one. You may be sort of strict with his or her sleeping time, diet, and other habits, but your hubby may less worried or show laxity about these matters and may simply focus on what makes your baby happy. Don’t allow such difference lead to quarrels. It’s essential to respect each other’s parenting style. Constantly opposing him won’t help, it’s better to let him deal with his own opinion or decision. For example, if he lets the child sleep at irregular hours, see to it that you and your hubby that he will be the one to take care of your baby if he or she stays up until dawn or wakes up at midnight.

4. After the birth of a child, having a special time with your partner becomes very hard. But do not forget that intimacy, romance, and time are an indispensable part of a happy marriage. So even if you may have difficult times getting intimate now that you have a little one, you could at least stay connected through lots of kisses, hugs, and cuddles to keep the romance alive.
