How to Find Time for Your Spouse - - and Yourself

By , About.com Guide

Set rules for yourself.

If you decide that you want to spend less time doing chores and more time making love to your spouse, then come up with ways to cut down on the time it takes to complete chores (maybe you can split the duties, for instance). That way, you’ll spend more time basking in afterglow and less time dusting. A workaholic? If you can, refuse to take meetings after 5 p.m. on Fridays, so your weekends are a little longer. Take control of your life – and be serious about it. Stick to the rules you set. You’ll be happier, and your marriage will get stronger.
