01. You leave your kids to focus on your relationship.
Most parents put their all energy into making sure their kids are well cared for, so when the opportunity for a couple’s day off or dinner out arises it is only natural for them to feel a little guilty about leaving their children in the care of others. But psychologists tell us that partners need to focus on their marriage and relationship first, before their family.
Making time for dates or a couple’s vacation allows you to build a stronger and better connection with each other without the distractions of your family responsibilities, and it allows you to rekindle the feelings and love between the both of you. While leaving your kids with your in-laws or at daycare may appear that you are not hands-on parents, getting a few hours away from them is actually healthy.
What are other relationship taboos that you feel actually make a relationship healthy?
