to my child to make time for just me and my wife sometimes? He makes me feel so guilty and she does so very much to make all our lives pleasant that I want to have quality time with just her. She makes sure that I spend quality time just me and him.

It is fair to your child and also to you and your wife. If you're going to keep providing a happy, intact home for your son, you need time to just be husband and wife. A little time during the day is nice, but you both need time to get out as a couple, to focus on your marriage. If that means a night out or a weekend away, so much the better.
It's easy to forget, sometimes, amidst all the hustle and bustle of daily life to give some time to your marriage. But don't forget it. Your relationship should be the core of your household. If you want to keep it strong, you need to spend some time just being husband and wife not so much mommie and daddy.
Someday, hopefully, your son will see that you may have taken a little time away from him, but in the long run you were giving him a stable home. He will appreciate it eventually.

One of the best gifts you can give your child is the secure knowledge that Mom and Dad love each other. Who cares if he whines a little bit, you need some quality time with your wife to keep that relationship strong. Besides someday that little guy is going to grow up and leave the house, but your wife will still be with you. Obviously I am not saying ignore your son to focus solely on your wife, but that quality time for you and her is important.

All couples need time just for themselves. It is fair. Explain to your son that you and your wife need to spend some quality time together. This has nothing to do with him. Tell him that you love him and you spend time with him and it's only fair that you spend time with your wife. Don't let him make you feel guilty. I hope this helps.

Your kid is being a whinny brat. Why are you letting him dictate what goes on in your life. This isn't a desicion for a child to make. This is adult stuff. Set the ground rules down for your kid and let him know he is not running the show. There is nothing wrong with you and your wife spending time together without him. I just can't understand parents these day letting their kids run things. This would never of happend when I was growing up. I knew what my parents said is how it was and I didn't dare talk back. Your kid is just trying to manipulate you into doing what he wants. Stand up and be the parent.

yes, you need time for just the 2 of you. thats what keeps a marriage alive. make a date night. maybe every 2 weeks, go out on a date like to dinner and a movie ect. just the 2 of you. when the child gets a little older, he will understand. just like you need time with just your child ect.

You as a couple need to have just time for yourselves. Otherwise you will grow a part.

Of course, If there's no mommy and daddy time/love, there won't be baby/child time or love.
