Hi, everyone! I have been married to the LOVE OF MY LIFE for 10 years...together for 5 before that. We have 2 fabulous children, Dominique 9 1/2 and Zack just turned 8. We do get quality time together, sometimes more than other times, but none the less we spend at least 30 mins a day just us on the couch at night!!

Hello Ladies! I'm Vanessa and I live on Tampa Bay with my husband Jason and our three children. We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary in July. He & I were best friends for a year, but he had a huge crush on me. I just found it annoying. Within a month of him seeing a new girl, I had to confess my love for him. He broke it off with her and I proposed within six weeks! Ten weeks later, we were married. I wasn't letting this prince get away! Tired of winter, I moved our family from Newport, RI to Florida last summer. We have no family here, and our only friends are who we've met through church, so we don't get out much. He works all over the state, and I work out of my home office, so in our down time he wants to stay at home while I'm dying to get out! We manage to work out fun little compromises. =]

Four kids, what a blessing!
When my husband & I were new, we were both coming from relationships and "the past" came up all the time. As time went on the past seemed to stay, well, in the past. There were a couple occasions when we could tell something was said that shouldn't have been. We made an agreement not to mention any exes or previous "activities". Maybe this is something that you can try with your husband.

Mar, You came to the right group. I hope you will find the support you need, and the inspiration here to keep your marriage strong. We're happy to have you!
Mar said:Hi ladies, I have been married 7 years next week and I must say that it is not easy right now. There are so many challenges in our life that our marriage has not remained a priority. We have two daughters that are very close in age and that keep us very busy. Add to that the fact that hubby works 12 hr shifts, 7-7 days and nights. I miss having conversations with my husband about things other than the kids, the housework or the finances.

Not to be too nosy, but what are your kids and yours and your hubby's ages? I find that ages and stages are important to recognize!

I'm Christina in Upstate NY. My husband Tom and I got married on October 20, 2000. (Easy to remember how many years we've been married that way!) We were together for two years before we got married. About three months after we started dating, he tried to convince me to run off to Vegas and elope with him - while I was still in college - but I held my ground and we married a few months after I graduated with my BA/MA.
We have a very active 3 year old boy, TJ, and don't get very much quality time alone together.
Our 8th anniversary this month will be followed next month with my 30th birthday. Augh!

Hi Mamas!
I am Sarah and I am in SoCal. I am 30, I have been married for 10 years to my Ben and we have 3 children. I have known my husband since I was 13 years old but we didn't start dating until after I graduated high school. He liked me in school but he got on my nerves following me around all the time and wanting to carry my books! LOL! We like to have quality time after the kids go to bed. We like mostly all the same tv shows, movie genres and activities. I would love to have more alone time with him..as I am sure all of us moms would with our DH's. We get date nights out of the house once in a while when my mom can babysit. We had one last weekend at my fav restaurant and went to see Nights in Rodanthe. Our next one is scheduled for November 21st...we are going to see the Twilight movie.
~Sarah

Hi all!
I'm Erin from Winnipeg, Canada! I've been married for 2 years to my hubby Miguel. We've have been together for 9 years (this year)--wow seems longer now that i type that out! We have one child (a baby boy born in March). Humm quality time, it's hard with us because my husband works quite a bit (80 hours a week) and travels at least once a month for 4 days. So for us, it's making the time we have together matter. Today we took a drive out to the country, no music on just talked all the way there. At night we like to play rock band together. We're very much both online people so we tweet back and forth all the time, can you say nerds???

I like the idea of driving without the radio. Maybe I will try that!

Hello all, I am 34 and have been married for 6 years. We conceived our son on our honeymoon. I always joke use birth control on your honeymoon, unless you want a lifetime souvenir! It certainly made our first year more intense. Our daughter was born in 2005. These first 6 yrs feel like a whirlwind, especially with my sons disability. As for time to ourselves that has been elusive, something I am doing my best to change.
By the way does anyone here also listen to Dr. Laura?

WOW! We got pregnant 5 months after we were married and I thought that was early (I was on birth control when we conceived him)! You all beat us! LOL
