Parenting Together
Week 1 Initiate talk time.
Tell her the three things you do together that you enjoy. Ask her
to tell you what she enjoys. Plan a “date” to do one
or more of them.
Week 2 Encourage her to have time
alone. Parenting partners need space from the bustle of life. Each
person needs renewal time. Encourage her to set aside several hours
to do what she does to rejuvenate herself. Be “in charge”
of all that she may “worry” about during that time.
Week 3 Hire a babysitter.
Surprise her with a night out. Arrange for childcare, transportation
and dinner for the kids. Make arrangements for the two of you to
do something together.
Week 4 Work hard together.
Pick a household task that neither of you can do alone. Do it together.
Sweat if necessary. Shower together when you’re done.
