Welcome to summer! Okay, so it’s hot. We all know that. Make yourself a cold drink and use the heat to your romantic advantage. 

Some relationship advice:

· Go for a walk in the park as it starts to cool off in the afternoon/evening.

· Watch a gorgeous sunset together.

· Go out for ice cream (Okay, fro-yo for the health-conscious).

· Dine outside for a refreshing change of pace.

· If you’re nature types, go camping next to a nice, calm lake.

But true, it isn’t all the “lazy days”. Summer also has its stresses. If you have children, it can be a time of high pressure with a lot of random logistic holes that need to be covered by busy parents. This is the reality of the situation, and aside from easing the chaos by planning well, it’s just the nature of the season. Don’t let that get you down! Before you and your partner get back together at the end of the day, take a breather. Neither of you deserve a blow-up because you’re over-stressed. 

More relationship advice:

· Call for a fifteen-minute quiet session in your home. Isolate fighting children from each other if necessary.

· Treat everyone to cool, frozen treat to get the gang in a good mood, even if you predict it’ll be temporary.

· If you haven’t done some decent planning to deal with summer logistics, take some time out and prioritize taking care of this. You’ll thank yourselves.

And of course, being able to sleep without flannel pajamas and a big, heavy comforter is also a romantic advantage of summer…
