Soccer mom,
I think your overwhelmed feeling is one that is widely shared. I agree with the posters who say that the activities should be cut back. We have two kids, and we did that, to some extent, although the kids are still busy enough - karate, dancing softball, robotics, etc. Always something going on.
That said, my wife and I often do these things together. For instance, we now have evening softball games, and I try to meet my wife at these games so we we can watch the second half of it together. We often go grocery shopping together. If we need a new trashcan, we go to get it together. Yes, sometimes we bring the kids. I like to be with her, and she with me. We don’t need to be doing something as purposeful as a candlelit dinner to enjoy each other. We can feel the love in Aisle 36 at Wal-Mart; it doesn’t matter what we’re doing, but we try to be together whatever it is.
That’s what works for us, if it helps. The sexual stuff just follows because daily life grows the love.
