Marriage, as we all know, brings in a lot of changes in the lives of a couple, especially for those who decide to stay in a joint family. And, one such change is the lack of ‘we’ time once they return from their honeymoon.

If you are also one of them who is going through the same situation, then you would agree that not finding enought time for one another is an issue in a joint family. Lack of privacy and romance with your spouse also becomes a problem. So, here are some tips for both men and women to make romance a possibility in such a situation.

A few things that "husbands" can do!

#1. Public display of affection

Trust us when we tell you that public display of affection works really well in a relationship. Guys, do not be afraid to show her some love in front of your family.

#2. Take her on a walk

While staying in a joint family, you cannot really get to spend time with your wife whenever you want to. Thus, it becomes even more important to steal some time out of your busy schedule for your wife. Go on a short walk in the evening, after your dinner. Hold her hand; have some mushy talks. Express your desires, laugh with her, and make some memories.

#4. Support her during family conversations

For starters, it may be tough for your wife to connect with your family gossips or discussions. Especially when some of your relatives get on a leg-pulling mode, and go overboard in doing so (of course in good humour), support your wife in such situations. If someone ridicules her, being polite to your relative, just be by her side.

#5. Ask her if she is happy

Take the responsibility of asking her if she is happy in her new home. Encourage her to tell you if she is unhappy about something or if something is bothering her. She may be in a fix about whether to tell you such things in the beginning, but give her some time and space to build her trust on you. Taking care of her happiness and asking her such questions, reassures her faith in you. 

#6. Talk to your parents

Your parents may not like it when you go out together without inviting anyone else. They might also feel embarrassed to see you expressing your love to your wife in front of them. In either of the scenario, talk it out with them politely and let them know that you need some personal time too. It is important to ensure that your parents do not feel awakard about the way you express your love to your wife.
