    It depends on your personal situation. How old are your kids? Are they young and require hiring a sitter every time you go out which could get expensive? Do you have a regular sitter available for multiple evenings every month? I would personally suggest to aim for at least once a month. If they are in any sports, camps, etc. on the weekends and you drop them off for a couple hours take that time to catch a movie together, a nice lunch or some naked time at home. :-) Going out together doesn't always need to be in the evening. If they aren't, maybe take some time to look into some social activities for the kids that will give you two some alone time and the kids a break from the parents as well.

    It all depends on the couple but I think it should be at least once a month to help keep their relationship healthy and fun. Yes, taking care of the kids is very important. However, your marriage comes first because the kids need to see a healthy happy marriage. So when the kids see the parents go out and enjoy themselves together, they will know that is a healthy marriage for when they start thinking of marriage. I learned in my marriage counseling with my husband that most couples make the mistake of making the kids come first. It should be your spouse first as keeping your spouse happy and the relationship healthy, it will also make your kids healthy and happy.

    i think of you the two adult men choose for a counseling on the grounds that if he's not waiting to understand. may well be if somebody else tell him a similar factor in a various way he will understand. i understand its kinda difficult for you yet you're able to convince him to flow to a counselor. Having intercourse 2 to 5 circumstances in a week is a sturdy and it additionally retains you slot and retains your marriege existence going. If no longer something works attempt to locate an decision.
