When you are married, it's very easy to get used to the person and drift a bit.
This is not always something that is done on purpose, but it just happens from time to time.
There are things that you can be doing that will help you have a closer and healthier marriage.
One of the biggest issues is children.
You both want to be good parents to your kids which is very admirable.
Many times it is easy to forget about the relationship with your partner while being busy with the kids.
Find time for each other even if there are only a few minutes.
Just focus on each other at some point in each day.
Do little things that you know your partner loves.
Go out of your way to do the things that used to make them happy that you know he or she really enjoys so they feel value in the relationship.
Be affectionate.
This does not have to be anything complex or over the top.
Simple bits of affection here and there can help two people feel closer to each other.
Tell your partner about how you are feeling.
Say whatever it is that you really do feel regardless if you feel that he or she actually knows or not.
At times it is nice to hear it even if you already know.
This helps you stay close since you are communicating.
Figure out problems in your life together versus doing it all alone.
Sometimes when you think your partner can't help, you simply keep it all to yourself.
Share these things no matter what.
By just listening to the problems your partner will feel included in what is going on in your life.
Learn to really listen to each other.
Put down what you are doing and listen to your partner when he or she has something that needs to be said or expressed.
