...acknowledging an issue and taking the steps to do what you have to do.

One night a week is something to look forward to. Write and exchange romantic notes until you figure out how to spend your night together.

Instead of dinner or a movie, find a garden, take a stroll, or a class together.

They're so many creative ways to re-discover someone you love.

Good Luck.

Congrats on putting your goal out there! This is a great first step.

Here's a few ideas and questions to consider to make this happen easily for you:

I encourage you to make this fun and enjoyable for both of you. What kinds of activites or dates do you enjoy with your wife?

What timing works best for you both? When are you most relaxed? When do you most want to connect?

Is there some busy activity you can let go of to make space for your relationship and your date once a week?

I look forward to hearing more as you live this goal in your weekly life.

Cheers,
Sylvia.

My husband Dale and I have a couple of "intimacy rituals" that are easy to observe because they are integrated into our routine. For example, when I'm getting dressed for work, Dale brings his coffee and the newspaper into the bathroom. He reads tidbits to me and we discuss them. Or, we just chat about nothing and everything. And, dinner time is sacred time. We always eat together, the TV is off, and the phone goes unanswered. Our day gets off to a great start and ends on the same note. My suggestion is that you look for ways to be "together" during your usual routine. Date nights are fun . . . even better are get-aways week-ends . . . but every day intimacy can become part of the fiber of your relationship.
