[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like you have A LOT of time with your husband right now. Definitely more than anyone I know. I don't think your marriage will suffer even if you have to sacrifice a little evening time.

My toddler son actually goes to sleep around 9:30 **GASP**. (He should probably drop his nap, but I'm keeping his nap for now because I'd rather have him nap than have an early bedtime.)

One thing my husband and I do is get ready for bed, get all the dishes done, etc etc BEFORE our son goes to bed. That way he goes to bed and we have 60-90 mins to just hang out. Honestly, when both my children went to bed earlier (730 or 8), my husband and I ended up doing dishes, stretching, taking showers, etc until about 930 anyway, so it's not like it was really couple time.

We only go out for a date about once a month, too. Honestly, I really don't feel like we are suffering for couple time. We have sex regularly, we hang out every night for an or so, sometimes we stay up too late talking or having sex but oh well. We all eat meals together and sometimes the kids will play after dinner while my husband and I are still at the table. Or if we drive somewhere, the kids are pretty quiet in the backseat and my husband and I can chat up front. I dunno, it works out.[/quote]
