How to have a happy marriage

[Shaz2011]

I have been with my dh for almost 11 years been married for almost 3 years, but the last 2 years have been really rocky but has got worse since the birth of our ds2 & getting guardianship of my nephew.
I would like for our marriage to be happy like it was before the dc came along any ideas on how I can do this? My dh works full-time & only get the evenings to see each other once dc have gone to bed & are asleep, any ideas or advice would be appreciated

This has some emotional truths in it

Thanks girls I think I will give some of these suggestions ago specially the candlelit dinners

I would definitely recommend a special night once a week.

You take it in turns to cook, and you wash up together. It's all part and parcel of managing to talk to each other.

If you can afford it, get a takeaway.

And don't put the TV on afterwards, go to bed!

I think we may have trouble with the tv bit as my dh is a tv & xbox addict
