Relationship advice please!!
How have other couples kept a healthy relationship while newly becoming parents?
We both struggle to balance our relationship, learning how to be parents, and a somewhat busy everyday life. Sometimes it feels like we’re roommates rather than a couple😬. I especially struggle to not get angry when it seems like my fiance constantly needs help taking care of our daughter, but I do understand he works a lot and I do see he’s trying. We’re both putting in the effort to better our relationship, but what things have other couples done to successfully better their relationships?

It’s rough for sure! But we make time for each other no matter how tired we are even if it’s just 30 minutes after the kids go down. Sometimes we put a movie or tv show on, other times we play a game, and sometimes we just lay together and talk before falling asleep. We also try for a date night at least once a month and occasionally have my parents keep the girls overnight. It’s tough at the beginning but it gets better
It’s tough. We threw in starting a business and leaving both our jobs in the mix too 😂 yes we’re crazy but it’s all worked out. We don’t get a huge amount of time together but one thing we have done is starting putting our little boy to bed earlier so we have 1-2 hours at night to chill and watch a series / chat etc and this has been great x
By having a strong foundation to rest on.
Always communicating and being honest.
We started a business together as well. This month between busy season, 15 month old, and im full term pregnant, we only get 30 mins to 1 hour together before bed.
We both communicate our needs daily.
