My husband and I have been married for 5 years and together for 8. During that time, we have been through a lot including having two children.
Post-baby intimacy can sometimes be tricky. For my husband, watching a seven-plus pound baby come out of his wife was rather traumatizing. For me, pushing a seven-plus pound baby out WAS traumatizing! As my husband so bluntly put it, he said he felt as if someone had wrecked his playground. Thanks, dear.
Even though all of the lady-parts heal, just having kids can take a toll on intimacy. My husband and I often find that after a long day of work and taking care of the kids, all we want to do is go to bed. Our bedroom became a place for sleep — and nothing else (if you know what I mean).
I’m sure many couples, both with and without kids, have experienced this. It takes effort (and some imagination) to keep the romance in a marriage. One of the ways I have found to do this is with a romantic date-night-in basket. This basket is really easy to make and not only tells your spouse that you are thinking about him (or her) but also that you still find them sexy. It might be just the thing you need for that hot night in.
K-Y® lubricants have always been a go-to for couples. With so many varieties couples will be able to find the perfect one to enhance their romantic life. I’ll also admit that by putting it in the basket my husband should have no confusion about what I’m trying to initiate. (Should is the operative word here.)
So, with that said, I sort of built the basket around the K-Y® LOVE Passion Pleasure Gel. Some of the other things I included were:
Candle: Candlelight always makes things more romantic whether it be a dinner, a bath, or even just sitting on the porch.
Scarf: You don’t have to get anything really expensive but just a simple scarf can spice things up.
Lip Balm: Because kissing can lead to chapped lips. (Amirite?)
Chocolates: No candy is sexier than chocolate. Whether it is just for snuggling up and eating together or for melting to dip fruit in, chocolate is always an excellent choice.
K-Y® LOVE Passion Pleasure Gel
Having healthy sexual intimacy in a marriage is so important. Otherwise you and your spouse are simply roommates and co parents. By using the K-Y® LOVE Passion Pleasure Gel, it allows both partners to enjoy better intimate experiences, which in turn leads to better emotional intimacy and better connected relationships. Plus, it brings some excitement to the bedroom by creating new sensations.
I have to say that I’m actually looking forward to some of the cooler weather rolling in — just so my husband and I can cuddle under the quilts and try out K-Y® LOVE Passion Pleasure Gel and some of the other items in the romance basket.
You can purchase K-Y® LOVE Passion Pleasure Gel and K-Y® LOVE Sensuality Pleasure Gel at your local Walmart in the same aisle as other intimacy products.
