Awake at 8:00 (I get to mak my own hours). Usually a lot of kissing and snuggling for about 15 minutes or so (I leave altoids on my nightstand). I get up, shower and get dressed, wake up my daughter and read to her for a bit. Wife gets up around 8:30ish (she also makes her own hours), and showers/dresses. We have family breakfast.
I get home sometime between 5:30 and 6. I like to surprise my wife with a little something every few days when she gets home from work. Flowers, poetry, music, a post it note with a cheezy line. Just something that reminds her how much I love her. I try to mix it up as much as possible, so it seems fresh. This has been going on since before we were married. Last night I had orange creme yogurt, her favorite, ready for her. I played piano for her as she ate it. It's fun. We have dinner, watch some tv, read some books, or go out to a movie, enjoy TFP...something to pass the time. I like to go out to social events, but a 2 year old girl can only take so much. After she goes to sleep, the wife and I usually stay up a bit and talk. This is usually the magic hour.
Weekends are different for me because I work Tuesday through Saturday. Sunday is usually our day to have fun and go out. My parents or my in laws love babysitting, so we can often have a great deal of time to ourselves. We don't really have rituals for the weekends except for dinner and a movie night on Sunday. The family all comes over for a big dinner and watches a movie on Sundays. It helps to keep us connected.
This post seemed to move away from Sexuality. It's in there, but I don't know if it's the point...oh well.
