«Someday our kids are going to leave us. They’re going to go off and create their own lives,» is the phrase with which Aubrey Paige justifies her countless trips alone with her husband, without their three children together.
Many couples, with the arrival of children in their lives, spend all their time raising and caring for their offspring, forgetting that there is life outside the home. While for many women this is necessary and not a problem, Aubrey decided that motherhood wouldn’t be her priority in her day-to-day life.

Aubrey Paige is a happy mother of two girls and a little man. Although the young woman from the United States loves her children, spending time with them and having fun as a family isn’t the most important thing to her. When she married Aaron Kervin, the woman decided that their relationship would come first.
For this very reason, the young mother made the decision with her husband that they would travel alone, without their children as much as possible, because they had to enjoy their relationship to make sure that it would never wear out.
«We come first. That’s my response when people make snide comments about how many trips just the two of us take. We put ourselves first. Some of you won’t understand, this is our journey, not yours.»

However, Aubrey and Aaron don’t travel the world without their offspring because they don’t love them, but because they know that tomorrow they will leave home, and all they will have left are themselves as a couple.
«Someday our children are going to leave us. They are going to go out and create their own lives. And when they do, if we have never put our relationship first, we will be left with nothing. So yes, our first trip just the two of us was when our baby was 11 weeks old. And guess what…he was perfectly fine while we were away.»

Although Aubrey and Aaron are at peace with their decision, they are often criticized by internet user who accuse the couple of not caring for their three children together.

However, the young mother has decided to ignore any bad comments she receives. Today she is even an influencer on Facebook, where she not only shares details of trips around the world, but also gives advice on how to keep a couple’s relationship alive, despite having to raise children.
As a couple, they have certain rules to ensure that the passion never runs out: a date alone once a week, a monthly kids’ night out, a four-day romantic getaway four times a year. That’s the tactic that has worked wonders for them.

Aubrey and Kevin love their kids, but their relationship is just as important as parenting.
