By Apexa Prajapati | Updated: 28/02/2022

Being a mother is a full-time job, and it does take most of your time and energy. And when you are a working mother, you’ll find yourself juggling between personal and professional life almost every day. Work-life balance becomes very crucial. For a woman, many things change when she becomes a mother. But the one relation which gets affected the most is the relation of a husband and wife.

We get so engrossed in our children that that we forget about our marriage. Our baby is our top priority, but we must also prioritise our relationship too. But how do we do that? Here are some tips:

Communicate

No matter what, communication is a must. Talk with each other. About anything, from how your day was to how are you feeling. Do tell your partner about what you are going through. The woman goes through a lot of physical, emotional and hormonal changes post-delivery. It is essential to support her. At the same time, even for a man, it is a whole new environment with new responsibilities. So it is really important to have the communication live between the two.

2. Have Some Quality Time

Try to spend some time together, involving just the two of you. Ask for help to take care of the baby for a while, go out, watch a movie or go for a date or lie down on a couch doing nothing. Be it anything, but important thing is to spend some time together. Find what works best for you.

3. Keep the Spark Alive

Physical relation takes a backseat in the post-partum period. So it is essential to spice things up a bit once a while. Having a baby is a big responsibility, but it should not be your only responsibility. It is a tiring job. Having your partner with you will surely make it a bit easier. Don’t neglect your spouse. With time you can find a balance between the both.
