This is especially important if you are married!
Once each week plan to spend some time together. I know. You have kids. It’s easy to use your children as an excuse. Give it up. Hire a trusted friend to do an overnight and head for the “No-Tell Motel” to light the fire.
Dinner dates are great too, but be creative and discover other options. Take a “hand-in-hand” walk. Visit an arcade and play some games. Think different! Put together a picture puzzle.
Schedule a “Play Date” where you play and have fun together. Go dancing. Have an extended dinner in a nice restaurant, just a few hours to connect with each other, away from family obligations. No conversations about issues. Focus on having “fun” and really “being” together. It’ll make a world of difference in your relationship.
