How to rekindle your sex life after having kids

Having a kid is a huge deal for most couples. It actually changes their entire life and their outlook on things entirely. However, as great as having kids is, it often ends up acting like a huge barrier to a couple’s sex life. If you too are wondering how to jumpstart your sex life after you have had kids, you might want to try the following ways to get the loving going.

 Scheduling sex

1. Schedule it

Scheduling sex makes it seem like a chore but when you have kids, you rather have to ensure that you have a solid plan of action for each day. It will help you prevent the household and your life descending into chaos. Depending on how old your kids are, how many of them you have living with you and what their needs are through the day and the weeks, you might be able to sneak in a quick sex date with your partner every now and then.

2. Surprise your spouse at work

When you have kids, you’re on a very tight schedule. The only real free time you and your partner have is those coffee breaks or lunch breaks at work. If you are itching to get the action back in your lives, then paying your partner a quick visit at the office and surprising them with an invitation for sex could be a great way get back on the proverbial horse without having the kids at the forefront of your minds. If having sex in your office simply isn’t possible, then just book a hotel room close by for a few hours and enjoy the lunch break with your partner in truly novel fashion.

 Taking a vacation

3. Take a vacay

Taking a vacation without your kids sounds like a horrible idea to parents but this is just what most couples need to rekindle the romance in their relationship. You don’t really have to go too far away from your kids to do this as booking a hotel room close by for an overnight stay or even visiting a B&B a few towns over for the weekend would do the magic. For ensuring that your kids are safe, you can always ask your family or friends to babysit the kids for a day or two while you are away.

4. Make the most of playdates and sleepovers

If you have kids, you certainly know the value of having the house to yourselves when the kids are at playdates or sleepovers. Most parents usually try to get their own errands done during these “off” times though it could be a fantastic opportunity to keep the flame alive in your marriage.

 For having good sex, manage any other way after you have had kids

5. Make the most of your evenings in

If you just can’t manage any other way after you have had kids, a great way to make sure you always get yourself some is to make the most of your evenings. Granted you might have to be a bit quieter than you like, but then again quiet sex is better than no sex, isn’t it?
