To keep your marriage growing, take a break from the work and the children. If it helps, make it a rule to talk about only yourselves as a couple. Ask for, or volunteer, a rubdown. Through a gentle neck rub, back rub, foot rub, head scratch or massage, you can ease sore muscles and give your spouse the gift of a restful night's sleep. Get in touch.
Physical contact can be one of the best stress relievers of all.
Take a relaxing warm bath to sleep well. Ask your spouse to pat you dry with a soft, fuzzy towel. Laugh at yourselves. Remembers, always being serious is crazy. Celebrate your anniversary, birthday, the arrival of a new foal, getting the field planted before the rain.
