[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP one trip will not change your marriage. One date night a week will. You need to put in more time to your marriage on a regular basis, not take long vacations (where he is working 10+ hours a day there). Seriously, do you think it's good for you to be there too for the hour or so per day? He will be working on who knows what while you get to sight see, relax, etc. I would think that may cause some jealousy in itself.[/quote]

I agree with this whole heartedly. We had date nights until about 6 months ago, when it became clear they were being cancelled for work so frequently that it wasn't even worth booking the babysitter. When they were cancelled, I would try to workout or take care of some project that we were behind on, and I just felt bad for leaving my children in the evening when we weren't investing in our marriage.

Unfortunately due to his work commitments it will be two years before there is a possibility of a date night. He works really long hours. I am lucky to have dinner together as a family. I even feel lucky to say goodnight to him when I'm not passed out.[/quote]
