[quote=Anonymous]Our young (almost 2 and almost 4) kids have hit a decent groove on the weekends (4 year old is up late during the week due to a late nap at daycare) and both are usually asleep by 7:30 or 8.  Saturday night is the night that we take the actual time to cook something together (something we both enjoy), with a nice bottle of wine or special cocktail.  We usually binge watch something we both enjoy or rent a movie.  It's been a nice change of pace.  We also both get out on our own at least once during the week to "recharge" and we're not afraid to call the babysitter a few times a month, even if it means we're spending more than we'd like to remember what it was like to be "us".

Oh, and sex.  I'm not a high drive person AT ALL, but my husband is and it's his love language.  If I had my way, I'd be in bed every night at 9pm.  I choose a night or two every week to stay up and spend time together that usually leads to more.  I also try to be especially affectionate on the weekends.  It's not always easy, but lately we've been at a really solid point - which has not been the case with pregnancy, loss, and small kids and both working full time jobs.  Good luck![/quote]
