Don’t forget your husband
Remember him? The man you married? He needs your love and attention too. Your marriage should be a priority and not pushed aside while the children are young. Nurturing your relationship may be the factor your children will look to in achieving their own sense of security, and as a model in building their own relationships later on. When the kids are grown and you’re experiencing the “empty nest,” you’ll be glad you’ve nurtured your relationship with your mate.

DH commented the other night while we were in bed that even though having children later in life is difficult, he is glad that we have spent the years before children developing our relationship and building common ground, so when the children are grown we will still have something in common. He's wonderful!
