Being a parent of under five year olds is very hard. Be kind to yourself and your partner. No one is having a good time.

Do your best to surround yourself with family.

If you can, make the effort to have a "date" without your kids at least once a week. Don't do anything too fancy, just be together and remind yourselves why you fell in love.

Aim for once a week. You'll be very luck to achieve it, but have the goal then do not get to upset if it cannot happen. Try again next week.

You are hopefully each others best assets.

Get babysitting if you have to. You deserve it. Even if you need to organise swaps with other families.

Baby sitters are cheaper than marriage counselors. Counselors are cheaper than lawyers.
