[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to go from no sex at all to specially created times for just the two of you to improve intimacy/connection. Hold hands WHILE you take the kids somewhere. Sneak a kiss in the kitchen WHILE cleaning up, etc. (And you may be tired,but you will feel and sleep better with better and more regular sex, not just quickies. You can sleep when you are dead.)

It will not hurt your kids to see their parents be affectionate with each other. And you sound like you are on the right path since you notice this.[/quote]

all of this.  DH here with 3 kids (teens and pre-teens) so I can relate.  When I come home, always kiss my wife hello.  In the kitchen, I just hug my wife because I want to and I want to feel physically connected to her even for a split second - I know she loves it b/c she basically melts in my arms. I do this in front of the kids, despite their "protestations".  when we're out, we hold hands walking to the store/restaurant, crossing the street, etc.

Our kids are older so it's easier to do, but we have a weekly date night that allows us to connect, uninterrupted for an hour or so - we do this on Monday nights when restaurants are mostly empty, so it's easier to get a table and the week hasn't yet turned crazy.

Our sex life is generally good - I always want it to be 'more than 1-2 times a week.  Yes, we have quickies, usually on the weekends in between the kid's games/activities and that adds some excitement.  It took me a while to understand this about my wife, but but the simple acts of connecting regularly, regularly brings the heat and passion into the bedroom.   [/quote]
