When I discovered I was pregnant I was afraid that having a child would affect the intimacy I shared with my husband. I told him about my fear and we became more intentional about building our intimacy by taking these steps:
1) We became more intentional about our conversations. Some evenings we would sit and talk about our day other evenings we would take a walk. I spoke to my husband about how I felt I was walking like a cow and he would laugh and say I was walking fine.
Being able to share my weakness during pregnancy has given room for me to share my weakness as a mom.The days I don’t feel like such a good mom because I was carrying my baby and she hit her head. I can tell my husband and he will encourage me and point out the things I do great
2) We also spoke about the deliberate actions we would take to be intimate when we had our baby. For example: we put our daughter to sleep early everyday so that we can have our intimate conversations.
3) We became more intentional about having date night.

We decided to go on a date every Thursday. The days we were broke we would just buy snacks and take a walk in the park. After our baby came we still continued our dates. We would drop her with my husbands sisters(they are wonderful).
A good marriage requires being intentional.
