[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:02 again.  Somehow finding time for each other has never been much of a problem.

Maybe b/c I'm a late night person. So we usually get an hour together most nights.  We both probably forgo sleep more than others, we will stay up till 12 or 1 Friday or Saturday night (but never both).  We try to go on a date 2-3 weekends a month, but some months we don't even get one in.

I guess when I was working for a fifth the pay (he does now) and coming home at 10pm and we didn't have kids we probably saw each other less than we do now.  Then I was so tired and cranky I didn't want to be social, now we're looking forward to each other and we have our own routines for relaxing together.

We usually go on one week long vacation every 2-3 years without the kids, (we say we should do it every year but we usually go on a family trip instead) and we try to get 2 additional weekend trips in per year, even if the kids are with us but stay in Grandma's hotel room instead of ours.

We spring for suites when possible when we travel as a family so we have our time together in the evening after the kids go to sleep.

Maybe since we've never been the kind of people to be home at 6pm (even before kids and big-law) it just seems natural.  [/quote]

You're the sahm pp, right? I think that must help a lot with the balance.  Staying at home is practically a requirement for this kind of arrangement - or at any rate, the wife can't have any sort of really demanding job. Her job will always come second. [/quote]
