Keep the bedroom door shut and locked every Saturday and Sunday morning. Let the kids know that this time is Mommy and Daddy's special time, and the two of you are not to be disturbed. Take this time to reconnect with each other as lovers, not parents.

Give each other complements every day.

Remind each other why you fell in love in the first place. Reminisce about your romance and remember why the two of you share this mutual admiration.

Listen to each other when having a fight or discussion. You should be able to tell your spouse what he or she has just said, without having to be reminded.

Stop treating each other like the enemy. Many times one spouse will begin to feel victimized by the other. Stop this behavior, and treat one another like equals.

Put your egos on the back burner. Remember that marriage is not about who is right and who is wrong; it is about mutual respect and love.

Take a vacation together, just the two of you. Make your destination a romantic one, such as Paris or a local bed-and-breakfast.
