Getting the spark back?!!

[onehellofaride]

Bit of background first were both young (20s), 2 dc (5 and 3), dh is self employed, I work full time. Been together 7 years, married 2.

What can we do thats fun, exciting, spontaneous etc.... I want sweeping off my feet. Complete relationship makeover (and possibly physical makeover too! )

Sorry if this makes no sense, just on my way out of door will be back this afternoon.

try a date night one night a week, cinema, drink or just a night in hth

If you want spontaneous sweeping off your feet stuff isn't the general idea that he thinks of something original rather than you planning it?...

We needed a bit of re-sparking recently so found a babysitter that works at dd's nursery so she knew her and I felt safe leaving her for a few hours. It doesn't matter if you need to organise nights out at first because once you start to he will more than likely do the same. You could go to nice restaurants together, go to the pub and just try and chat for hours (ban talk of dc's and work) and do it at least once a fortnight.

I also found taking time out to get one thing done for myself a week really helped, one week I got my nails done and the next a massage. It worked so well I'm now up the duff again, argh.
