"Keep the marriage the top priority. Always remember that the children will be in your home for about 20 years, but hopefully, you will have 50 or 60 years with your mate. If you don't make the marriage top priority for those 20 years, you won't have much to work with when the children are gone."
THIS! and keep your communication OPEN and make sure you're on the same page. help each other out and ENJOY your kids! family time together is just as important as "intimate" time for mommy and daddy. don't lose sight of what you guys were before kids and keep that love and fire alive and remember you're not just mommy and daddy, you're HUSBAND AND WIFE!
