The show with Esther Perel was amazing. Her comments about having all your "touching: needs satisfied by the end of the day reminded me of the days when the boys were small.
I remember when I was nursing my kids and when they were little, getting to the end of the day and really feeling like I had had enough people touching me all day, and needing some alone time more than anything. More touching was almost painful and annoying.
My husband and I started taking some short holidays away from the kids, and this helped- a tradition of having alone time, and knowing each other, remembering how much I like him as a person- this is so important. So many parents feel guilty about those adult only weekends, but I think they are a vital part of keeping a marriage happy and together.
