Do projects together. We often read together. For Christina's birthday we made her a doll bed. Paul constructed the wood part, and I sewed the mattress, pillow and blanket. Now we are making curtains together-Paul is fixing the curtain rods while I sew them.
Many projects can use the talents of both people.
We like to sing or play violin and piano, and are planning to take a ballroom dance class together. Go on a date every week. Even if the husband is tired of being away from home, the wife really needs to get out for a couple of hours-without the children if at all possible. I find that if I can just do that, I'm good for another week at home. Fix a special dinner and dress up for it, decorate, and maybe even wait till baby is down.
