So knowing we should give our partners the same sort of attention we give our gardens and our gym routines and, God forbid, our jobs, let's go back to our wise listeners.
Just like Jemma prescribes, Hailey and her partner make the effort to stay connected.
[gentle music] We're pretty much together 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that leaves us with a lot of time [laughs] to, uh, you know, find a moment here and there to, uh, sneak a bit of sex in and, uh, enjoy each other.
So yep, when the kids are at school and kindy during the day, we'll just, you know, find a bit of time to have a bit of fun.
And then, uh, when they go to bed, if we're still up, listening to music, we'll just have a bit of fun in the back room, you know, when they're absent.
[beep] And Parul has some advice on how different approaches to parenting can be an asset in a relationship.
My parenting style is little bit more involved, little bit more dominating.
I need to know where my kids are, why they're not calling up, why they are-
... you know, X, Y, Z.
And my husband is, "Allow them their spaces.
Let them grow on their own."
"If they make mistake, they'll come back for advice." So he's got a very different parenting style.
You make a good team with your husband, and sky's the limit.
[beep] I think the biggest thing for us now is we're just kind to each other.
We know our little idiosyncrasies and needs and considerate of that.
I'm not a morning person, and my husband is, and I start my day every day with a cup of tea in bed, which he kindly brings me.
And then we have little chats, and it's very lovely.
[beep] Amanda, our loved-up mom of two from Canberra, came up with this little trick to carve out some quality time with her husband in the evenings.
We put the kids to bed really early.
