As parents, my husband and I spend our days taking turns dealing with the emotional tempests of a toddler, coaching the bigger kids to resolve their latest kerfuffle, and executing on a bedtime “routine” that involves the kids getting out of bed 72 billion times every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to mention the never-ending<\/strong> cycle of figuring out what to feed the kids, convincing them to sit down long enough to eat, and getting everything cleaned up before we have to start all over at the next<\/em> meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the midst of all that, we barely have time for a single uninterrupted grown-up conversation, let alone to make sure we stay connected as a couple. So it’s all too easy to lose sight of how lucky we are to have each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I know we can’t<\/strong> let that happen.
