Romance with my fiance.
Me and my fiance have been together now for 5 years. We use to be able to finish each others sentences and know what each other wanted before either of us said anything. Now we have 7 children in the house and no time to spend with each other. Our sex life has decreased dramatically and we can't even hold a conversation without getting mad at each other, so we don't even talk. I love him unconditionally and he is the love of my life. What can I do to get us back on track and get that fire burning again.

Hi
Wow...seven kids huh? That's a lot of work and a lot of distraction. I can see why you and your fiance don't have a lot of time to spend, just the two of you.
I'll give you a few ideas that my husband and I do to keep our romance alive amiss the hustle and bustle of day to day life.
We always make sure we MAKE time to spend together. We will go out for supper, or go to a movie, or even just go out for a couple of drinks.
Now I realize that this can get costly if you have to get a babysitter for your children...but you could always call upon family or friends, or maybe you have a child old enough to babysit their siblings. The way we look at it, is we really can't afford NOT to have our regular night out.
Another thing we do that we enjoy (which you may not), is have a secret online affair (with each other of course). It keeps things steamy, sexy, and fun....and can lead to some hot nights in the bedroom!!
You could rent movies and have a night after the kids go to bed. At our house, the kids are always in bed by 9:30 at the latest, and that gives us a few hours to be alone before we hit the sack.
It sounds to me that you and your fiance have a great foundation to your relationship, which will prove to win out in the end.
With all this being said, the most important thing to keep your romance alive and that fire burning is to make sure you put your relationship at the top of your priority list (children being at the very top).
You will find that your communication with each other will improve dramatically if you get to know each other again, and let each other know that they are important and you want nothing more than to spend the rest of your lives together.
Good luck, and take care,
Brenda
