One of the best parts about being married is learning new things about yourself as a married person. You are wearing an extra hat now as the spouse of someone, which comes with a new way to behave and its own set of responsibilities and roles. If you add children to the mix, then you may as well add one hat for each child because they will all be very different. Somewhere along the way, you may realize that you haven’t spent time with yourself in years.
As many mothers know, those first few weeks and months of being a new mom are demanding of your time. Mostly because this little love bug wants their needs met so that they can go right back to sleep. As mothers, we get so conditioned to the life of only looking after our children and living on their clock that we forget about ourselves and our spouses. That is why I can relate to the Black Love Live episode, “Can You Balance Marriage, Career and Children”. The guests, Tommy and Codie Oliver and Devale and Khadeen Ellis, discussed finding balance and putting yourself at the top of your priority list.
