Life might feel like a whirlwind diaper-changing marathon, but it’s time to put the “dance” back in your romance.

Because let’s face it, "romance" shouldn't be synonymous with asking, "Did you remember to buy more formula?"

Step 1: Rediscover Each Other—Not Just as Parents

Step 3: Spice Up Your Space

Step 6: Communicate More than Just Calendar Updates

Text heart-fluttering messages, not just reminders to pick up milk. And, hey, remember deep, meaningful conversations? Those still exist, and they don’t only happen during car rides when your baby is asleep in the backseat.
