"Being a parent is not the only thing you are, right? It’s also not what brought you and your spouse together to begin with. For the health of your relationship and your own well-being, it’s essential to make time for each other, with no kids involved."
"Family vacations are a wonderful way for kids and parents to spend quality time together; it’s time to create the space for deeper conversations (that may feel too rushed in every day life)."
