Sole mate
Make a date, confirm a babysitter, and refuse all other offers. Some couples need to schedule this precious time alone and keep to it. A year long commitment to a fun bowling league, for example, is a great way to share fun and social times together.

You are special
Talking with your mate is a learned skill. This probably explains why sex is easy ... you don´t need words! Don´t let problems or concerns from the home front build to monumental proportions. Talk daily without distractions.
