Create a New Ritual
Even when your schedules are busy, there are still opportunities to grab some quality time. Maybe you could stop for ice cream after picking up your kid from soccer training or make Friday evening bowling night. It doesn’t matter how you choose to spend your time and which fun activity you do, the important thing is you are spending time with each other.
