If you are a newlywed couple or are soon-to-wed couple, who would be living in a joint family after marriage, then here is something that would interest you. 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.

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.
