Baby crying in the next room? Kids running up and down the hallway screaming? I know these sound familiar to you and I know you think that these things can quickly put the kibosh on your love life – but that’s a lie! Even with kids, you can still make time to get some lovin’ from your partner. Don’t make up excuses like you don’t feel romantic or there isn’t enough time to quell your racing libido. Do something about it! After kids, couples should not become working partners; they need to stay as lovers. Take these steps to keep your sex life as active as your kids on a Saturday afternoon!

•    Do not refer to your partner as “mommy” or “daddy,” it switches gears in your partner’s head from lover to parent. It turns the “sex” switch off.

•    Do not get encompassed in the daily routine of life – do things to make your love life interesting and special. Have sex in other places other than the bedroom (maybe not your kids bedroom, but the bathroom or hallway can always be fun), perk up your partner’s interest with some lingerie, or send dirty text messages during the day just to let your partner know you are thinking about them in “that way.”

•    Communication is the key, for example, after a woman gives birth, they tend to feel unattractive – let her know that she is just as beautiful as the day you met her. Also, always make the time to say “I love you” in person…just hearing it can sometimes be all your partner needs.

•    Go on a weekly date – do the things you used to do when you were first dating whether it is a movie or bowling. Going on a date will keep the spark alive between you during the day and at night too.

•    Buy Viagra and use that to spice up your sex life when things seem to go dry.
