The essentials are:
1.
Have fun together.
2.Interact. Have meaningful conversation.
3.Have
conversations that you need to have without little ears listening. Give each other your undivided attention.
4.Go
over your calendars at least once a month.
This will solve a lot of little (or big) conflicts later.
5.Take
a deep breath and enjoy your time away from your children.
Enjoy
your time away!
