Gosh I feel for you and can only imagine. You should both make a list of things you enjoy as adults. Things you've done or would like to do. Then look at each others list and compare, discuss and possible try them out together, with or without the kids when possible.
I also heard of this kind of card set that you keep on the table and it has different questions on it. Families can use it as a conversation starter during dinner or whatever to get people talking about different things.

This means that you have allowed your children to become the main focus in your life instead of them being a part of the family. I suggest spending some alone time with your husband away from the kids and all the hectic pace of your lives. Do some date nights. Nights together that you vow not to talk about the kids. If you want to have a strong realationship with your spouse you need to take the time for each other and leave the kids to the side once inawhile.

Every couple of months have a relative babysit and take some alone time for u 2. I've only been married for about 2 months, but my parents have been married for 22 yrs. I always remember them doing that every once in a while, once we got older they left us home alone. But theyre are the happiest married couple I know, im sure that will help your marriage as well.

sounds like you dont know each other any more, you've grown apart and when the kids leave home your gonna have a stranger in your house. try going out together more without the kids and get a hobby your both interested in...get to know each other all over again.

Obviously the most important aspect of your relationship are your children. The two of you need to add other interests to your relationship that are important, but not necessarily as important as children.
If all else fails, find things to do together that include your kids.

Try to find a hobby you both could do. Take a cooking class, dancing class, etc. Check out the community section of your local newspaper and go out and do something as a family or take time to do something with just the two of you.

You and your husband can each write down 3 things you're interested in.......and set aside sometime to talk about one of those things. When the children come up.....stop...regroup....and get back on the topic you were talking about.
For ex.....she can talk about a book she's been reading.....he can talk about a car he's always dreamed of having.
Planning ahead can make a difference.

2 words......DATE NIGHT!!! Not just any date night, but make an agreement that on DATE NIGHT you can talk about anything except....the kids. Be spontaneous, do things that you don't normally do. That will definitely spark new conversation. Good Luck :)
