I've just recently started to feel like a robot doing the same thing day in and day out. I want to put a little spice back in our lives. I'm 18 with a one month old child, my husband is in the Marine Corps and we are away from our family. So we just can't drop her off at grandma's house and go out. What are something you do to keep your life alive and fun.

I was also a young Marine Corp wife (still married, but now he has moved on to law enforcement). As I know money is tight in the military and you are so far away from your friends and family it is hard to find something to do and find any time together. The best thing you can do is to get to know your neightbors. One of them might have or know someone that has a daughter/son that babysits. We were lucky enough to find that!! If that's not an option right now......try some little day trips as a family which is always good for the military man to spend time with his family as a whole. There is always something to do without spending a lot of money. Pack a lunch and go check out everything there is to do around the base and then spawn out to the towns around. And car time is always a good time to talk and reconnect!! Good luck.....it's not easy.....but it can be done!!

Do you and he have separate emails? Write him hot and steamy emails. Tell him what you would like him to do to you in the bedroom, and how much you want him. Or write about things you would like to do to him in the bedroom. (Or anywhere in the house you like) If you don't have email, pen a letter (hand write). Prepare his favorite meal and serve it with candles on the table, join him at the table wearing only one of his long, sleeve dress shirts. Instead of watching TV at the end of the day, after baby has gone to bed, light a boat load of candles throughout the living room and snuggle on the couch. Spend time petting and touching, giving him your undivided attention. Have a stereo system? Find some soothing jazz music, or romantic music to listen to while snuggling. Change something about your appearance. A slight hair cut, or color change, something that will make him say, "Wow... you look fabulous." Try complimenting him on things he does that please you. Rent romantic comedy movies. Leave romantic notes in his briefcase, lunch box, wallet, something he'll find *later* in the day. Something quick and simple, "I love you, baby." "I'm thinking about you." You get the idea. Surprise him with an intimate moment. When he steps out of the shower (and a quiet baby permits) pleasure him right then and there. Men love spontenaety, and the more attention you give, the happier they are.
Good luck, hon. Being away from home and away from family definitely makes life difficult, but not impossible. And one more thing,.. God bless your husband, for serving his Country.

Wow. You guys are so young, and so far from home. It must be triply important to you to keep things fun and fresh. I might recommend finding something new to do together. Learn a new card game or buy some board games. You could have fun and create memories while your little one sleeps. It also might be fun to pick up a gourmet cookbook and together create new and delicious meals you can enjoy. Set your table classy and feed each other your yummy labors. That is romantic. Have a date night. Rent movies, have popcorn. Do something regularly that you both enjoy and will look forward to.

WOW your young!!! Well I say find a reputable baby sitting service and do thorough background and reference checks for a baby sitter. You and your hubby need to go on at least a getaway weekend vacation somewhere nice. Think adventure. Do something you two have not ever done or have been wanting to do.

try to put your child down for bed every night at the same time-routine is VERY important, then make a special dinner for him, rent a great movie, or just sit and talk about what you love about each other.

While the baby is sleeping... have wild and crazy sex! But don't make too much noise... the baby might wake up.
