Getting the spark back

Anyone have any creative ideas for getting the spark back in my relationship? We’ve just had another baby a few weeks ago so logistically we can’t go on any date nights right now and we’re in a bit of a funk.

Play card games together. It may sound a bit lame but it’s fun, free, you don’t need to get dressed up or get a babysitter, gets you talking and laughing together. Black five is one of my favourite games.

Congratulations on the new baby.
I think it's good just to find pleasure in the little, simple things - nothing too extravagant either financially, energy or time wise.
How is the babysitting situation? Not for nights out but even the odd hour to be able to pop out for a coffee or lunch, just the two of you. Try promise yourselves an hour or two each week where kids, chores, finances or work are not the main topics of conversation. Reminisce about when you first met and write a bucket list of things you'd like to do whenever you get more time together, take a bubble bath together, take turns giving a massage or foot rub. Nothing has to turn sexual, just maintaining some physical contact and intimacy.
