"You need to compromise sometimes."
Waluscha Robinson, Model

It does become a little difficult once the kids come but it is important for each one to prioritise our time. Mark and I are lucky in a way that we get to pick and choose our work.

However when the kids are just newborns, it becomes a lot more difficult to make time. Realistically, with all the help in the world, sometimes it is just impossible.

This is when the understanding between us comes in. As clichéd as it may sound, this is where our communication comes in.

When dealing with newborns, it is almost to have exclusive time as a couple. That is when we tell one another that this is not the time for us to have alone time. We compromise then, accept the situation and tell one another that we can do things together later.

Remember that it odes get frustrating sometimes and one does feel like pulling their hair out sometimes, but we come trough as a couple. Communication is ever so important.

"We work around Khushi."
Niharika Chawla, 29, home maker

Khushi was born within a year of our marriage. My husband and I knew each other for about a year before we got married. When Khushi arrived, we had limited time for ourselves; our relationship seemed to have a different complexion suddenly.

We then realised that we would have to work round our baby to make time for ourselves. Khushi usually slept at 11:30 pm, we would then go for a drive or catch a late night movies after that.

Even after a baby it is very essential for us as a couple to spend time with one another. So we had to make an effort to make time for ourselves. My mother-in-law is a terrific help because she is the one who comes through for us whenever my hubby and me need to get away.

I believe that it is essential and necessary to have someone I trust completely and someone who my baby is comfortable with, look after her while I spend time with my husband sometimes.

Make Time with Your Husband

Psychologist Dr. Leena Bahrani gives you five tips on making 'Hubby time'.

1. Schedule Your Time Around Your Baby

Do things with hubby dearest when baby is asleep. Nothing like catching a late movie, drive or an early afternoon meets.

2. Get Help Babysitting

Find someone you trust (like your in-laws, parents or even friends) to look after your baby sometimes. This will give you and your husband a much needed break from routine.

3. Include Baby Too!

No babysitter? Why don't you'll just include baby too. That is only if she is old enough to be taken outside. However remember that if you'll have baby along then you'll will have to do a drive or go to a park.

4. Pick and Choose Work if You Can

If your profession allows you to choose your work according to your time and allows you to freelance, then this will give you more time to spend with your baby and your hubby.

5. Later Works Too

Sometimes no matter what you may do, making time is impossible. If this happens, don't fret. Just tell one another that this is not the time and you two will be able to spend time with one another after the baby is a little bigger.
