My husband and I have been together for 19 years and married for 10 years and we have two boys, one 13 and the other two years old. We have our own business so it is kind of hectic. I travel a lot, but we find couple time.
We wait until the children are asleep, then we have our time together but if I am away for a long time, they know that when I come home daddy and mommy are going to be in our room together catching up on things (ha ha). We love each other dearly, we still kiss each other if we are leaving the house, when I used to work, we kissed goodbye and all my co-workers can't believe that we still do those things.
Bath time is also a great time to get frisky but we have to be careful because our two-year-old is very attached to me and even when he is watching cartoons, if he doesn't see us for a while he comes looking, so night time is the best time for us.
I think after you have children, you must not give up the dating, sharing time together or romancing. Why should I not tell my husband how sexy he looks, send him romantic text messages or even invite him to dinner?
I think couples should continue to romance each other even after the children leave home.
