writes: Im pregnant and am engaged to a rugby player who is away training and playing etc for about half the year. Our relationship is great and we cope with not being able to see each other every second of the day but as i am a newly qualified teacher and about to start teaching my very first primary school class, im worried we are going to be too busy to maintain our relationship with that stress from our jobs let alone having a newborn. Does anyone know how we could keep our relationship strong without turning into the kind of parents that just tollerate each other because they are too busy and stressed out to work on their relationship? Do date nights work?

It will be tough and there will be times where your jobs will exponentially fill your time. But one of the best things you can do is just be considerate of each other and do small special things for each other when you cant be together ie a special dinner, little love notes,etc. But when you can be together date nights help so much! And it also helps if you can manage to get away for a night. The first few months with a newborn will be exhausting due to lack of sleep but the sooner they learn to sleep through the night the better for you. Our first has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 months and my 3 month old now only wakes up once or twice a night usually around 2 and 5 or 6. And believe it or not it does get easier. Good luck!
