We talk every day. It doesn't have to be anything major, just tidbits from our day, who we saw, what we did, etc. We also send text msgs throughout the day sometimes. Sometimes they are racy and flirty which is fun but sometimes it's just to say thanks for something nice that one of us did that was unexpected. We make decisions together. We clean together when we can or work on some kind of project together. Right now we are coaching our son's tball team together as our "project".

On weeknights, we try to stop working/cleaning/paying bills, etc. at least by 8 or 9 o'clock, and sit down together and watch TV for a while before we go to bed. We record alot of stand up comediennes from Comedy Central and watch them at night. It's better and more relaxing than watching the news. Plus we're connecting at the end of the day. Then every Saturday night is date night. We always do dinner and have a couple of drinks. It's something we look forward to all week. These type of habits are what helps to keep the intimacy in a marriage.

Spend time together, and plan on a regularly scheduled at least once a week "date" to continue courting and romancing each other. Share ideas, thoughts, suggestions, worries, concerns, joys, hobbies, etc together so that both of us are aware of and interested in what we each do.
Plan time each day to "communicate" to each other, even if one is away at work, by sending text "I love you" messages or phone calls, etc to keep in touch each day.
Take a weekly time or "companion meeting" to go over the family and couple goals, wishes, desires on a regular basis to plan and coordinate our lives. Compliment each other regularly, and when necessary, calmly and respectfully share issues or concerns with each other at this companion meeting.

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is we like to read together - not always out loud, but it's fun when we do, because we'll make up voices for different characters. It also can be as cheap as a trip to the library.

Communication is the key to staying connected.

5:30 every evening after work we sit and have coffee, talk about our day, our plans for the evening, just a half hour of "us" time. I know it isn't much but when you both work and have kids, that half hour is a life saver and a marriage saver.

Communicate ALWAYS. We also go out together at least twice a month without our precious baby girl.

Talk. Tell each other what you're thinking/feeling. And don't make any major decisions without consulting each other.

We just try to have fun together, which means either the kids are around, or they aren't. Works for us!
