[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that has been helpful for us is to have weekly meetings about running the business that is our family.  We figure out who has what going on that week, if we need additional childcare, additional items at the grocery store, plane reservations, dinner reservations, dentist appointments, Cub Scout uniforms, etc.  That way we don't miss anything, and we aren't co tinning to talk about these things through the week.[/quote]

We do this too. We call them "no screen" nights which means we aren't working on our laptops. We only have devices out to look at the calendar. It also usually involves a bottle of wine too. That way we also avoid getting annoyed with each other because we thought the other was going to take care of xyz. Our kids are a little bit older (12 and 10) and our weekends are full of travel sports, birthdays, etc.

We watch TV series together for years-  Sex and the City, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Americans, Masters of Sex, etc.

Date nights every week. If we don't go out, we'll cook a late dinner together after the kids go to bed.

We take lots of overnight trips together too. Grandparents help out with the kids.

We both work- I own my business and work mostly from home. He has a higher stress job that involved some travel, but he makes our family a priority.
