As my husband and I are getting ready to have our second child any minute now, and in light of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, I wanted to turn to the question of parenting and romance. More specifically, I wanted to focus on 3 reasons why it is important to make room for each other when you have children.
Reason #1. A strong parenting couple makes for a strong family.
This is true regardless of your children’s age. Kids don’t only need you to be united when they are toddlers and learning right from wrong or when they are teenagers, rebelling against all social rules and norms but also, when they are off to college and begin their own families.
Many people make the common mistake to stay together for the children and then once the kids are off to college and they have to finally face each other alone in the home, they decide to divorce, thinking that the kids don’t need them anymore.
Well, actually, they do.
