Things somehow become different when kids step into the picture; responsibilities increase and affection becomes diversified — and yes, it’s a good thing — the home feels more complete with kids in the picture.
However, there are certain things every woman should do before having kids with her man.
1. HAVE LOTS OF FUN WITH YOUR PARTNER
You would be surprised at how busy and preoccupied you would be once you start having kids, and this could mean little or no time to have fun, till your kids start growing older.
So if you are newly married to your partner and yet to have kids, it’s best to have all the fun you can with your partner — this is actually the time for that.
2. HAVE A LONE TIME
A lone time is a time dedicated to yourself to probably relax, clear your head or do things you love to do. Create that lone time for yourself, and what you do with it is up to you. This is a time you would actually value because once you start having kids, you might not get that much opportunity again.
3. FOCUS ON YOUR CAREER
If you are a career person then this is a time to focus on your career. Give your career a boost during this period and do your best to give it a push as much as you can. There is no better time to focus on your career than now.
4. WORK OUT
Yes, you read that right. It’s amazing that many women don’t work out at this stage of their life when they are single or yet to have kids. Work out and be in great shape; you would be grateful you once looked your best, and pictures of your old self might be a boost when you see yourself losing shape after kids.
5. SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT
It would be nice to spend time with your mum, dad, friends and those dear to you. Those moments would become priceless because you would be surprised at how less time you would be able to spend with them later in future.
6. VISIT NEW PLACES
Explore, travel, visit new places. You have the time to do it now, so do it. Visiting new places would boost your mind and creativity in life, and you would most definitely learn new things.
7. BUILD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MAN
Rather than quarrelling and fighting all the time, this is the best time to build a solid relationship and rapport with your man. When the relationship is solid at this stage, it would be easier to maintain it when kids start coming. But if the relationship is shaky at this stage then it could get worse if care isn’t taken.
