One of the things that is often thrown out the window by couples, while they are raising their children, is the date night. The reasons why most couples don’t take advantage of date night is not enough time, too many commitments, and too many children’s activities. We love our children and we want to do the best for them including providing them with a well-rounded fulfilling life. But, how do you tell when there is too much in the mix? Ask yourself these questions. First, is all your time devoted to your children? Second, does life seem hectic with little down time? Third, do you have any time for yourself? And fourthly, is there any couple time? If you answered “yes” to any or all of these; you need to take a breather and reflect on what is important. In my practice, couples often tell me that their children come first and I know that they do this with good intentions. However, couples need to focus time on their relationship; otherwise they face the consequences of distance growing between them. This distance becomes increasingly more difficult to bridge and fix the more time passes without the couple being engaged with one another’s lives.
Well Valentine’s Day has come and gone. All the chocolates are now on sale; and for someof us, it is time to stock up on the discounted chocolates. Valentine’s Day has got me thinking though.

We get to shower them with jewels, flowers, notes of love and chocolate. That day is done but the opportunity to show our love is not gone. We have 364 other days in a year that we can show our love to our partner, children, family, and friends. Here are some ideas how to spread your love throughout the year.
