So many people are scared that having kids might be the end of the relationship they once knew…
But did you know there are amazing things that you might learn about your spouse as well? Here they are:1. Sense of Fun
Kids are fun bombs! Your spouse’s willingness to put on silly glasses, roll around on the floor or dance a crazy dance with the kids is a direct sign of the fun in store for your love life. The more your partner is open to their silly side you can pretty much guarantee that spontaneity, seduction and surprises are in store for you.. |
| The 7 Things Having Kids Can Teach You About Your Spouse |
2. Ability to Forgive
As much as we want our kids to be perfect, sometimes they are not. Especially when dealing with teens that sometimes make the wrong decisions or say the wrong things to us. Seeing your partner’s ability to move forward with older kids after a disagreement or a bad decision is a clear indicator of their ability to forgive. All relationships need a shot of forgiveness to be successful.3. Willingness to Experience New Things
Seeing your spouse step outside of their box to bring your children joy is really a miraculous thing to take in. The wife that isn’t remotely athletic attempting a new sport to give the kids practice time, a lover who isn’t a big reader diving into the latest teen novel to be caught up on the movie series or the husband that thinks theater is boring sitting up front at the kid’s musical and singing along are all signs that a partner is willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy even if it is clearly not their thing. Long-term relationships need a shot of the “new” in order to not be dull or die out.4. Depth of Love and Caring
There is nothing more beautiful than catching your spouse in a candid loving moment with your child. Singing softly, fixing a boo boo or simply sleeping can all be incredibly loving acts that show the depth of the love your partner is able to provide. Who doesn’t want to know that love has no limits from sun up until sun down? Children can really reveal your partner’s overall ability to love and to care.5. Conflict Skills
Having kids requires a lot of love, but it also requires a great deal of understanding, negotiating and seeing the other person’s point. Observing your lover’s ability to diffuse sibling conflicts, take it down a notch when a child has them heated or being brave enough to admit to a child that they may have been wrong is a huge indicator of how they will handle conflict with you.Just think, it takes a lot to not be a dictator or always right to people that you make every decision for. If your lover is successful at navigating the sea of childhood emotions, then it is a good chance that they can resolve issues with you.
6. Appreciation of Time
Kids grow fast and every moment is critical in experiencing something new with them, teaching them or even simply being present and enjoying these growing years. If your spouse is a wizard at putting the phone down, ending the work day or simply switching gears to make the most of their time with the kids, it is a great clue that they can do the very same with you.Time is finite and once it is gone it is gone. Sharing your life with someone that wants to make every minute matter is a big bonus in any relationship and a big indicator that a person is not lazy in love.
7. Spirit in Difficult Times
All relationships have ups and downs and to be able to weather the storm is a huge gift to have. Watching your partner weather a situation or time with your kids with humor, understanding or quiet caution is something to really take in. Not losing it and saying crazy things or enforcing strong sanctions is hard to do when things are rough with the kids.Also, when there is a crisis — having the ability to quietly assess what is going on and then to work on fixing it without drama and theatrics shows maturity and problem resolution. It teaches the kids that all is never lost and it shows you the strength and character of your spouse.
