Do you think it's possible to get your 'boyfriend' back?

With years of marriage, kids and more responsibility than ever imagined, many couples find it very hard to get back to the way things were when they first started dating. But then again, does anyone really ever get back to that "girlfriend"/"boyfriend" phase?

No. After years of marriage and kids, it won't be like the early days of dating, but if you work at it you can still reignite the flame.

Possible, but why would you want to? Dating is such an ackward stage. I feel much more comfortable and relaxed in marriage.

      Relationships are vital to being a great parent. Bedtimes are not only good for the kids, they're good & necessary for the relationship too

        Dating is the easy part, adult relationships that are fun are better.

          I think one of the biggest mistake we as couples make is that we forget what it took to bring our union together...like dating. Yes we have pressures and stresses of children, jobs etc. But that should not stop us from having a date nite. Start networking with your other neighbors and one night you watch there kids and than its your turn to have them watch your. Go to a movie, hold hands in the movie or maybe if possible go to a hotel for a one night stand. One thing I think is sexy is plan a night where there is no televisions, sports games on anywhere and just sit in a room with your lover (meaning hubby or wife) and just talk. caught up on the things that have been happening in your world.

            I think it is important to keep your marriage spiced up and is not always easy to do. It is so easy to get lost in the day-to-day tasks and be so busy that all of a sudden you have grown apart and forgotten how to have fun. One thing I have done to keep the spark in my marriage, as well as work to keep my own happiness is attending a free call on Friday's called Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, as well as a teleseminar put on by Sherri Nickols at http://unleashyourself.com. I have gotten back in touch with who I am and what makes me happy, as well as bring a whole lot of spark back in to my marriage. I can tell you my husband has loved the renewed spark and overall I am a happier person.
