When she's sleep, we sit and talk or watch show we like. We haven't been on date night yet, but we plan to. She's 2 months, still nervous. We just talk and hold each other, pregnant it got hard b/c I was so big and going to the bathroom a lot dampered it. I t just seems like we are reconnecting on a different level.

Some things we do are...

Everyday with DH get home he heads straight to the shower, I'll generally go up and sit in the bathroom with him. Sometimes we talk about his day sometimes I'm just there. It's his time to decompress & get ready for family time.

Then DS has a pretty strict bedtime and every night DH and I get time to reconnect and just enjoy each other. Sometimes it's Netflix, talking, or eating something sweet (DH loves sweets lol)

We also have ATLEAST 1 date night a month (our church provides childcare), but also schedule "grandma & grandson" dates occasionally too. And when this lo gets here I'm sure they'll be at grandma's plenty as well. (DS went to my moms about 1x a week from birth until 6mths of age) This lo may not be AS often, but with the idea of us moving far at some point in the future my mom likes to take advantage of being part of the kiddos life. =)

And a little role play is always a nice mix up to have some fun too. tehe.

We make sure to have date nights every week. I'm sure not having kids makes that easier. We talk about everything, the good and the bad. We love to go to the movies together. I think maintaining a physical relationship helps too.

Every Thursday, we have date night at home. Nothing fancy, just a movie and a glass of wine. We also eat dinner together every night and talk. And like @Tana_bk mentioned, maintaining a physical relationship definitely helps.

Right now all we can really do is call each other every night, since he's away for work.
We make sure to say I love you a bunch of times, in many different ways.
we text each other throughout the day, silly messages and pictures when we think of the other (and have the time).

We make sure to eat together, go on walks, play games together, when we're at the grandparents baby stays and gets watched and we go on long bike rides. We don't have a TV, though we watch it through our computer, but I think it helps to make watching TV/movies less of a go to and we end up talking a lot more.
