How do I balance time between my new spouse and my kids?

How to balance time? Being a parent and being a partner, this is the age old question everyone has. And it's a juggling act. There's no doubt about it. It's difficult. You're exhausted and you're probably working and you're running a household and it's tiring. But, every relationship takes some time to cultivate. I'm a big advocate of date night. I think date night carries a lot. Because then you know you have a set time to go out, you and your partner, and be together and play around and make love and be yourself as a couple. And then there should be some more ability to tolerate when you have to give attention to the children because children are very demanding. So, it's a balancing act, that's for sure. It doesn't take as much time as you think. It just takes some attention on the partnership. And then there will be the time for the kids.
