Can you get the spark back after kids?

So I know it's still early days, our twins are only 3 months old but I miss our relationship, will we get it back? At the moment it's me being grumpy because I've had a hard day with the girls, snapping as my DP walks through the door, rarely any time together. Sex is out of the picture as I never want
It. I just wondered if you ever get it back? I know we love each other that isn't an issue, it's just hard at the moment.

Your relationship will never be like it was before simply because the children will take priority at this young age and their needs are huge!

All you have is a new reality. You still have each other and your sex life will get back on track but for now it’s normal to be exhausted and for sex to be on the back burner.

All this is temporary and things will gradually improve but becoming parents does change things.

Just remember to make time for yourselves and have date nights etc

Yeah I think we need to plan a date night and have a bit of time to ourselves.
No matter if you plan to have a baby I don't think you realise just how much it impacts your relationship. God help the people that have babies to save a relationship lol!
