The "roommate phase" is real, and it sneaks up on new parents faster than you think. It's that moment when you and your partner go from lovers to living like housemates—just managing schedules, chores, and keeping your baby alive. Romance? Intimacy? They take a backseat. And if you’re not careful, this phase can pull you apart.
I’m telling you now: you *can’t* afford to take it easy. A strong, lasting relationship thrives on connection, and yes—s*x. Intimacy isn't just about the physical; it's about keeping that spark alive, staying emotionally in tune, and remembering why you fell in love in the first place. Don’t let the "roommate phase" become your new normal.
It’s easy to get caught up in survival mode, but making an effort to reconnect with your partner is vital. Set aside time for each other, even if it’s just 10 minutes a day, and don’t shy away from getting physical. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity for a happy, healthy relationship that can weather the ups and downs of parenthood.
