How do John Legend and Chrissy Teigen keep their marriage fresh? Well, they get away from their kids at least once a month. For those who don’t know, the two stars share a total of four kids together, ranging from age 7 to just nine months.
They obviously have their hands full, but at least once a month, they escape it all to focus on their relationship.
Legend was on a panel at the Voices of Beauty Summit earlier this week, and he revealed that spending quality, alone time with his wife is how he relaxes and de-stresses.
Chrissy and I have committed to doing a staycation one night a month to get away from the kids. Getting away from the kids, going to a spa and just [enjoying] each other’s company. If you don’t take those moments to reset [and] if you don’t intentionally take those moments, I think then time can get away from you because you’re always going to have something to do. You’re always going to have work to do.
He added that their kids have their phone number, just in case they need them, but beyond emergencies, they feel their nanny can handle everything just fine for one day.
Of course, not everyone can afford to have a “staycation” once a month. Still though, you can find time to celebrate your relationship. Maybe put the kids to bed early one night and have a dinner date on the back patio or something.
Or hire a babysitter just for a couple hours and go enjoy a night out on the town. You don’t have to rent out some swanky hotel room.
