Super thoughts shared here Corey! The hub and I are down to one teenager at home and he now has a job. I love his job…..My son will leave for work and the hub and I dash off to bedroom for some of that wink wink stuff! I will miss my son when he moves out but I won’t feel lost. I have a lot going on with the hub and look forward to chasing each other through the house whenever we want!

I remember the thing that made me feel safest was the love that existed between my mother and father as a child. They are still married today and still respect and love one another so much. I once heard that the only responsibility of parents are to show children a real example of love. I know that my parent’s love was a great factor in who I chose as a partner because that respect and that warmth and tenderness was essential in making me become the person who I am today.

These are all great ideas. Thank you. Because both my wife and I work from home, plus we homeschooled our daughter, we had to make sure that it didnt all blend together – work, family, marriage, etc… One rule was, no work in the bedroom. It was vital for us to find some boundaries that worked for all of us, and it allowed us to nurture our marriage as well as our family.

Read a book together, fiction, non-fiction, comics! My husband and I just spend 10 minutes before we doze off giggling together over Calvin and Hobbes, and it lets the stress go! Great way to end the day – in your honey’s arms giggling!

This is a great article. I would like to reference it on my blog if possible. There is much there to digest and put into action.

Corey, I love this! I grew up in a very angry house full of stress, so we’ve tried very hard to be loving, affectionate and relaxed for our children (and as you’ve implied, for ourselves). To add to #5, try taking the TV out of your bedroom altogether. We recently did this and found ourselves finding more time around bedtime to talk about the day, parenting, work, ambitions, and more.

We went for a weekend away and felt a little guilty “abandoning” the kids. Thanks for this awesome post reminding me to remember where we started – just a boy and a girl that fell in love.

Too true, Corey. So many childhoods would be much better if married couples really concentrated on this advice. Here’s a great quote I recently ran across: “A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.” –Andre Maurois
