Do you remember the children’s rhyme when you were growing up, “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage”? For many people, this isn’t just a children’s rhyme, but a path their life followed.

I know life is so full right now that it can feel exhausting to think about needing to focus on one more thing. But, once you start to focus on your relationship/marriage and start to spend more quality time together doing fun things and building your intimacy, it will not only get easier but you will also be looking forward to it so much, that you will want to create more and more time for the two of you.
