Try bringing back a little romance. I am not sure how far along you are but you could try some sexy nighties - they even have them for pregnant woman. You could have a candle light dinner and make subtle suggestions about dessert, etc. Sometimes people get too busy and forget the reason that attracted them to eachother in the first place...take him back to memory lane!

I've been married for 6 years. We've got a 2 1/2 year old little dude.
It will be painful at first but you two MUST make time for yourselves to keep the mariage bond tight. People are already probably telling you, "A baby will change your life." And you reply, "Yeah, I know." but you have NO clue of the magnatude. It is awe inspiring and more than a little daunting.
Those first 6 weeks are going to feel like you are running a marathon. You will be EXHAUSTED. Housework, cooking, taking care of the little one, work or preparing to go back to work it's a task. May I suggest on the weekends you get to sleep in one day as late as you want & he gets the other day. While the other one sleeps it's one on one time for you two to bond with the little one.
(I'd take ours to Home Depot or the grocery store, or wherever just to give my wife a break from the constant whirlwind of activity.)
Back to your question: find afamily member or a friend, or a recommended babysitter and plan a date. We were so tired we found it easier to go out late Saturday or Sunday morning and eat a nice brunch then shop or do some activity & be home by 4 or 6 than to try going out at 7:30 when we were pooped.
Now if you meant "How do I keep the excitement in the bedroom" I apologize for completely misreading the question.

well i have been married 8 months and got a baby on the way the only thing i can think of to keep excitement in the marriage is doing something different like ....using toys in the bed or watching porn with him doing things that you thought might be a little to nasty or dirty it keeps the marriage going, well at least for me i never was to dirty and he knew it however i did like surprises and one night driving home from the super center i decided to give my hubby a b.j on the road it was my first time ever doing that but i thought of something that i could do that i wont forget and since i had never done that i decided to try doing that for the first time, or like a couple months back we got it on in an ampm bathroom it sounds discusting yes i know but not to worry the bathroom was clean and we did it doggy style and it was soooo much fun there are alot of different stuff you can do to make the marriage more fun and exiting i hope this helps good luck

I decided that there wasn't enough excitement in our marriage ( remember the original chase and capture?) so I told my husband that it was time for an open marriage. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt and he still gets his so all are happy!!! You might give it a try even if it is just a skimpy top when he has male friends over. All guys have fantasies about their woman with another man. Give it a try I think you will like the results!!!!

Be unpredictable. Plan a special night, do something you normally don't do, ask about his fantasies. Try Hoochy Mail. I know the name sounds hideous, (it used to be called Pillow Mail) and develop a sexy story about the two of you. Maybe it will give you some new ideas. They are fun and can be scaled to what you are comfortable with - sexy, x-rated etc. www.hoochymail.com
Don't get caught in a rut whatever you do. When you sense that happening you need to take action. Videos, toys, whatever. Talk to him about what you guys like in the bedroom. Communication is the key. Good luck!

Doing anything outside the normal routine can be exciting, from something as small as trying that new Thai place on the corner to something as wild as finding a new toy at that adult shop (YOU know the one). Routine is a relationship killer, so always be on the lookout for something different in all aspects of your life.

Hormones and change!! I have been married two years too! you are going through a change in your body that a man cannot understand and unless you share what is happening..Open up and if he doesn't listen then talk to your parents..because they find a way that they can get into your personal life to straighten it out..Always trust Mom and Dad!!

ok im only 16 but my parents got divorced when i was 11 and i know that it sucks so.... with what lil advice i can give you is just kiss his a$$ a lil every now and then, treat him like a king and let him know he's the one for you and always will be, be happy, and if things don't work out in the long run then i guess he wasn't meant to be. i don't think this helped at all but like i said im only 16. good luck!

Have a date night every week and after your baby is born DEFINITELY have date night without the baby (once she/he is old enough to go to a babysitter) also do family things. Make things romantic.
