Ciara Talks Communication, Date Nights, and Balancing Family Life With Husband Russell Wilson
In a candid conversation on the latest episode of Over It Radio, Ciara opened up about how she and her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, keep their romance thriving despite the demands of their busy careers and family life. Joined by Summer Walker, Ciara shared valuable relationship tips, emphasizing the importance of communication, date nights, and making time for each other.
The Power of Communication:
Ciara began by reflecting on the key to their lasting relationship: communication. “I would say communication rules a nation,” she said. “What I will give my husband a lot of credit for is that he can communicate really well. And I think maybe it’s the quarterback in him because he’s big on leadership, big on teamwork, big on being together.”
This level of communication, Ciara noted, is crucial in their marriage, especially given the high-pressure lives they lead. While Ciara admitted that she can be “stubborn” and “spicy and feisty sometimes,” she emphasized that communication is always a priority.
Dating Within Marriage:
Another essential factor in their relationship, according to Ciara, is the importance of continuing to date one another, even after years of marriage. “I really feel grateful for our ability to communicate with each other. Because I feel like there’s nothing I can’t go to him about,” Ciara shared. “And even if we have to find our way through it in the conversation, I feel very confident we’re going to make it on the other side.”
This commitment to regular communication and emotional connection has been key in maintaining a strong bond. Ciara also stressed that finding time to reconnect is essential, particularly when juggling their family and career responsibilities.
The Role of Date Nights:
With their busy schedules, Ciara and Russell make a concerted effort to maintain the romance by prioritizing regular date nights. “We have our precious babies, and that’s a lot. And me, doing everything that I’m trying to do every day — grinding and the hustle,” Ciara explained. “Then he’s also doing his thing and grinding. I think sometimes you can get monotonous if you don’t look up and pay attention. And so we are very committed to date night.”
For Ciara and Russell, date night is a non-negotiable part of their routine. “Every Friday is our official date,” she revealed. “And it’s something I look forward to.” This weekly ritual allows them to escape from their busy lives and reignite their connection.
Keeping the Spark Alive:
Ciara also shared how she keeps things fresh in their relationship. “I feel like the beginning feelings all over every time, getting cute for him and he comes out looking cute and looking sexy,” she said. This effort to dress up for each other and make time for intimacy helps them maintain that spark, even after years of marriage.
Managing “Mommy Guilt” and Finding Balance:
Like many mothers, Ciara admitted to feeling “mommy guilt” when she takes time away from their children for a date night. However, she explained that the time spent with Russell is a necessary reset. “What is so beautiful about us committing to us is that it actually is a great deep breath for me in the midst of my crazy week,” Ciara said. “I’m actually looking forward to going out, him taking me out, picking a restaurant. And I think it keeps things fresh.”
For Ciara, making time for her marriage is just as important as being a mother and career woman. “I just feel so blessed that we have that,” she concluded, emphasizing the importance of nurturing their relationship amidst the demands of family life.
Conclusion:
Ciara’s insights on love, communication, and keeping the romance alive in a busy marriage offer a refreshing perspective on how high-profile couples can maintain strong, lasting relationships. Her advice resonates with many couples striving to balance family, work, and personal time, and it’s clear that for Ciara and Russell Wilson, their commitment to each other is at the heart of their thriving marriage.
