how does everyone keep their relationship healthy?

firstly 5 years on daz & i still adore each other even after having a baby!!!
we give each other the space we need & don't crowd each other....i've never stoped him from doing anything he wanted & he has never stoped me either.
we do so much together i love it in the summer as we go for so many evening walks together & with benjamin. we just have fun together & yes the sex is still good even though we don't do it half as much as we used to .
our ulitimate fav is just to put ben to bed snug up on the sofa with me wine & him beer & a dvd well that was till i found this site!!!! lol

I've been with Stuart for nearly nine years now (God i feel old!) and have 3 kids. We always respect what the other wants, well most of the time. We always give eachother the room we need when we need it & usually let most things goover our head. If we didn't we'd be killing eachother. It's really stessful but i think having a ten year age gap definately helps, when he goes out i know i don't have to worry about him getting into trouble @ 37 he knows better

Me and steve have been together for almost 13 years. when tyler (our 1st) was a small baby, me and steves relationship was the same as it was b4 we had tyler. but as tyler grew, things started changeing as were becomeing parents, and we kinda "grew up" too lol.

We never go out to pubs etc so we dont have that issue. some nights steve pops round his mates while im sorting the kids, i go round my mates in the day, and thats never a issue.! the only time there might be a bit of a issue and a debate, is if we both been out all day doing our own things, and i say i wanna pop somehwere in the evening, steve dont like it as his not seen me all day! wich is understandable

We still have our little snuggle ups on the sofa etc, but haveing kids really make you grow up lol. i was 19 when i had tyler, and thats really when my child life stopped!

I dont regret it at all tho, and me and steve are still extremley happy.

we would love to go away for a long dirty weekend, but not untill kids r older lol

toeally hun i was 29 when i had benjamin so i did all my parting so was compleatly ready to settle down. even though daz is 5 years younger than me he's such a homebird he loves just staying in & playing all sorts of games !!!!! with a few beers.

Me and my fella are still goin strong after 4 years and I think its cos we have OUR time. We try to go out on our own for a meal or to the cinemas regularly! I love going out just me and him, havin our little chats and surprisingly learning new things about each other all the time.
At home we seem to get carried away with the computer and house work and so on so I suppose makin a bit of special time for each other keeps our relationship alive.

We tell each other we love each other everyday and always settle arguements although I am very stubborn and have to be right all the time
I love him !! AAAWWWW!

yeah thats it i will get some freedom back when my kids have grown up i dont mind waiting! My kids are more inportant, than a night out!! lol

Hey girlies!! I just been shopping to the trafford centre and went in the gadget shop and gues what they had A portable dancing pole! It was £20 I pointed it out to my fella and he said that it would probably snap on me and he couldnt understand why I was shocked at what he had just said. I told him it sounded as though he was calling me fat

He then explained that he meant I would probably fall off or something embarressing like that would happen! Could you imagine

Well maybe I will prove him wrong and buy one for his birthday in May! Dont know if Ive got the confidence tho!

You could get pole dancing lessons (they're really popular at the moment) and give him the shock of his life on his birthday!
