Try setting up a date night. That's what me and mine usually do. We have the aunties take care of the kids and we go to dinner a movie, a bar... something different. My kiddo is my world, but getting away from everything,(work,school, homelife etc.) for just a little, is very refreshing and fun.

That is actually the most exciting part of a couple's life!! Try to steal a moment from looking after your toddler, as if you are doing it while stuck in an elevator. Have you tried "playing" with your hubby while really playing with your kid? Thinking how to get things done makes the experience more exciting and romantic.

Infants to teenagers - a married couple must find time for themselves. Get babysitters, take short trips without the child. Put the child to bed and then dim the lights with some music and a nice dinner. You have to want to keep the romance and you will find ways. And always remember the golden rule, just cuz you have kids don't let your looks or weight go. Take care of yourself and look sexy you still have a man in your life to please. So many women cut their hair, get fat and lazy, and dress like old ladies and their excuse is because they have children and its easier to live that way. Well then hubby goes wandering and she wonders why. Always look sexy for your wanting man.

I have seen that the biggest mistake young parents make is they don't have the kids on a schedule. If you get the child to bed by no later than 8:00p.m. you have time for some bedroom fun. The key is to make sure you put the toddler in bed by this time everynight! At first you may have to work hard on getting them tired by giving them a very busy day but evidentually they will develope their own inner clock and get tired by your set bed time. Put the work in and you will be highly rewarded. Good luck...

Find a way to get the toddler out. Babysitters, family, anyone (well, that you trust). Our mistake was that we did not have any support around us. Thus, we took care of ours for 3 years full time. Doesn't leave much time or energy to think about or spoil each other.
People will love to help you out if they know what you're up to. :-)
By the way, it will feel very, very weird not having the little one around.

We have 2 kinds now, and we try and do date nights. We don't get to go out a lot, so we do netflix, pop some popcorn and cuddle on the couch. Other times we'll put the kids to bed early and go to bed early ourselves. And when it comes down to it, its the little things during the day that make me smile. The kisses and the looks throughout the day can take my breath away.

Sneak a quickie in the (locked)bathroom, unexpectedly. Try doing as much as you can "together", and try not to act like you are as tired and stressed out as you really are. Make time to talk to eachother. Don't forget to tell them that no matter how hard raising kids is, that you are so glad that you are doing it together.

Do a date night every week. Don't let anything keep you from your date unless your kid is really sick.
