For the first few years of our marriage we were like ships in the night - my wife would sleep over at work at least twice a week. We would do stuff at the oddest times - midnight movie shows, we would sometimes meet each other from work. It actually felt like dating again - we always tried to make something of our common time.

Now my wife works part time and we have children we are having to do the same thing! We need to find specific time just for us.

I agree with the comments about doing something special for your partner too - it can be simple stuff - a drink in bed when her alarm goes off - a surprise breakfast - flowers - if you shop, sometimes pick up something out of the ordinary (we like deserts/sweets as treats).

Never forget that marriage is a partnership - you must pull your weight and always put the other person first (perhaps it's another thread, but putting the other person first is, in many ways, a selfish thing to do, but it really works. If you want the best for them and put their needs ahead of yours you will find that this is reflected back.)

You are going to married for a lot longer than you have the jobs you have now, so you must make it work in the current scenario.

Good luck
