Bringing back the spark

[Beachmummy23]

Been married to DP for 10 years together 15. Have one young daughter and happy in our relationship. However, its become too comfortable. We both work long hours and are often exhausted. More often than not once DD is in bed we sit on our phones until bedtime barely saying a word and then straight to sleep.

Has anyone got out of the rut of taking each other for granted? At weekends we go out have fun as a family but we don't have any couple time of any quality.

DH and I are in the EXACT same boat

Very complacent and have little to say to each other after DD is in bed and he works weekends so we don't really get any quality time together

I'd start slow maybe a date night once a week? Take it in turns to choose. Things that naturally encourage conversation are good, I know me and oh sometimes run out of conversation! So if your staying in the house for the date maybe board or card games or a quiz. If going out what about a comedy show, quiz night, cinema but food after so opportunity to connect, or see a band? If you like the outdoors walking. If you can get a weekend away that would be good but I'd plan things to do. It can feel a bit pressured to entertain each other otherwise. Hope that helps!
