Making time for your husband can be just as challenging as it is to make time for your kids every day. Sometimes even more so, because your schedules can clash so much. But if you are looking for ways to connect with your husband every day, then you are in luck.
Because in this post, I’ll quickly share how my hubby and I do it.
It probably won’t surprise you, but connecting with your spouse every day is just like connecting with your kids – you need to use the natural rhythms of the day and build in connection moments.
Easy ways to connect with your husband
‘Natural rhythms’ are those moments we already have built into our day that you can capitalize on for connecting with your hubby. These are things like the early mornings, dinner time, and the quiet evenings.
And it’s pretty easy to build little connection moments into these times of the day.
1. Start the day off with a cup of coffee together
Well, obviously, it doesn’t have to be coffee if you aren’t a coffee drinker, but the key is to start the day off together.
Get up before the kids, if you need to, pour a cup of coffee, and sit down together. Sit at the kitchen table, the living room couch, or the deck outside. Wherever feels nice.
You don’t even have to talk if neither of you are a morning person. 😂 🤣 Just sip your coffee quietly together.
Note: this works best without cell phones.
2. Send flirty text messages throughout the day
Well, they don’t have to necessarily be flirty, but they definitely need to be more than, “pick up milk on the way home”. 😂 🤣 Just check in with each other, see how your hubby’s day is going. Tell him that you love him.
You can use Snap Chat too for this. I love getting goofy little snaps from my husband when he’s on break. His welder beanie cracks me up. 😆 Snap Chat actually gives you a tiny little peek into your husband’s work life.
And that’s always fun because it’s the one part of their life that we usually don’t get to be a part of.
3. Make dinner together and clean up together afterward
Obviously, I’d suggest you eat together, but hopefully, you are eating together as a family. If you make dinner together beforehand though and do the dishes together afterward, it gives you a little bit of alone time.
Unless you have a toddler or an infant, your kids are going to vanish FAST when it’s time to do the dishes. They don’t want to get stuck doing them with you! 😂 🤣 So, use this time to decompress from the day and visit with each other – alone.
4. End the day together
Just like you started your day together, end it together. Make a cup of tea or grab a drink and sit on the couch together and just talk. You can also head out to the deck.
You don’t have to end the day talking if it’s not your cup of tea. There are other things you can do together at the end of every day as well, such as reading together, playing a game together or watching a show together.
5. Go to bed together
I’m actually always surprised by how many couples do not go to bed at the same time. I don’t know why. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with it.
It’s just that my husband and I have always gone to bed together, and so I just naturally thought everyone did that. 🤣 😂
But I think it’s helped us to stay connected over the years. So, although it’s nice to have some quiet time to yourself at the end of the day, I’d suggest going to bed together as often as you can.
It’s kinda sweet to snuggle up together at the end of the day. 😍
At the end of the day….
At the end of the day, momma, your relationship with your husband sets the tone for your home life and your family. If it is a loving relationship, you will have a loving household. If not…well, you know.
We all want to raise our kids in a loving household. That is the absolute healthiest way to raise children. 😆 Your relationship with your husband will affect every part of your child’s development and identity. So, it is well worth it to invest time and effort in it.
So build these moments into your daily routine and before you know it, you will have a stronger, healthier relationship with your hubby.
