Just the Two of Us Again - January Edition
Even when it's just the two of you again, how you use your time can still cause conflict in a marriage. You may not be running the kids here and there any more, but you are probably filling up that free time with other activities.

If you think your marriage is being caught in a schedule squeeze, then sit down at least once each week, to talk over your activities and plans. Make sure that you mark on the calendar some time for the two of you to go out - even if it is just for a walk around the block holding hands. Plan on doing something together, outside your home!

If home chores and responsibilities seem to be eating away at your free time, then together make a to do list that isn't so demanding. It might be time to delegate some of the chores to a younger generation. Teenagers are always looking for ways to earn extra money.
