Nick Lachey shared that he and his wife Vanessa Lachey prioritize their relationship deliberately to keep the spark alive, emphasizing the importance of honoring and respecting each other.
The couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey, who are now working as Hollywood producers and actors and also raising three children mentioned that the couple should always put a couple priority. Nick says that when kids are present, you can only capture the rawness and love that they used to have and this is alright because the focus should be on the children.

He encourages people to purposely try to hang out together, even if it requires setting up for it. According to Nick, this shows that he deliberately tries to spend time with Jessy, and therefore, does not allow things to go wrong.
“Sometimes you have to be deliberate. You have to make deliberate attempts because the spontaneity, the romance, whatever you want to call it that existed pre-kids, it just can't exist the same way,” Nick shares with the PEOPLE. "And I would argue that it shouldn't exist the same way because your priority should be your kid, but you have to also make time to prioritize each other."
Nick passed these nuggets while discussing the show’s second season, Perfect Match Season 2, pointing out that it takes work and some planning for affectionate partnerships to thrive, especially in the context of family and career.

Nick said that their children are the most important part of their lives and so they have to respect and foster the relationship which was the foundation of their family.
