[quote=Anonymous]I've been married to DW for 10 years and we have two elementary aged kids.  We both work full time and due to the busyness of life, we are drifting apart.  I'm not saying that we're headed for divorce, just saying that we're becoming roommates and co-parents rather than cultivating our relationship and becoming better friends.

I feel as the man, I need to step up and take initiative to do something about this.  I don't want to find myself in another 15 years with a woman who I don't have a close friendship with and have nothing to talk about when the kids are in college.  The only problem is that I'm a dude who has been married for 10 years.  I got no game.  Don't judge me.

So for those that have a BFF relationship with your DW or DH, would you share what you do to keep your relationship vibrant?

Do you do regular date nights?  How do you get regular time to continue growing in your relationship with the grind of life eating away at the clock every second?  How do you have meaningful conversations about life and ideas, instead of scheduling which parent is going to pick up the kids or who's cooking what for dinner?

I think what it may come down to is that I've become less thoughtful because I just don't have the time (I just want to get things done).  But I realize that I need to make the time.  It's hard but I want to make an effort, even if it's small.
