3>2. Keep the Spark With Talking – In and Out of the Bedroom While conversation might not seem like the sexiest way to maintain love, it’s crucial when you're spending nights Googling 'how to prepare for labor'. Whether you’re discussing your favorite baby names or debating the sanity of clown nursery themes, communication is key. And here's a thing: make bedtime discussions a ritual. Not the "Did you remember to buy toilet paper?" kind but dreamy conversations about adventures post-baby. That'll keep you connected quicker than your wifi! 3. Give the Gift of Relaxation Nothing says "I love you" like a spontaneous gift, and no, I’m not talking diamonds. Try a foot rub or a bathtub with special salts (or just regular ones stolen from the kitchen). Give yourselves permission to spoil each other with relaxation. Because nothing’s sweeter than kicking back with the one you love, unless of course, it’s with the one you love and a tub of ice cream. "Love flourishes where there’s relaxation… and a guarantee that no one will mention taxes or diaper costs." 4. Leverage Technology For Some Screen-free Fun Use tech to bring out the corniness in your relationship. Send funny messages or plan elaborate scavenger hunts where every clue leads to another room in your house. Incorporate playlists for mood-setting dinners—jazz or early 2000s pop? Only the best for your in-home date night! 5. Laugh Together, A Lot Laughter creates bonds stronger than industrial glue.
