Thanks for the validation....I can't imagine a reason why time alone together would NOT be considered important. We've all learned that trying to see things from the other person's perspective and not always trying to be 'right' is key to a good marriage. So, I'm trying to see things from his perspective. I get it that he thinks time is running out. I'm 33 and he's 34. Our two kids are 5 and 7 so we don't want the age gap to be too big and we don't want to be 85 when they graduate high school. BUT. Why can't we have both? Kids and time alone? I know time alone will be scarce, but we can plan for it via a babysitter or in-laws. What could a good reason possibly be NOT to do that?? That's my concern....I can't imagine any proponent for marriage saying that time as a couple is not only nice, but critical for a good marriage. So, why can't he see that???
