[quote=Anonymous]We're in the grind with little kids and job/financial stress, but I feel like we never spend time together.  DH recently shared that he is feeling lost, and I feel the same.  My thinking is that we need to spend more time together as both a couple and as a family.  Otherwise, we are never together unless we are cleaning or falling asleep on the couch.  When I suggest family or couple activities, it is always an ordeal, and we only get everyone out of the house to a museum or activity or go on a date when visitors are in town.

DH seems hesitant to engage in any of my structured ideas (e.g., family game night on Wednesday, evening out by yourself on Thursday, family movie on Saturday, grown-up conversation over wine on Friday).  He also rejects attempts to say "let's go to the Building Museum with the kids this weekend."  He seems to think everything is a hassle and I'm pushing too much to make things happen.  I think that is the point of being a couple and family.

Settle this:  Am I being unreasonable?  How much time do other couples/families spend together?  [/quote]
