::.My spouse is working more than usual; we see each other less...
When your spouse works a lot and therefore spends less time at home, you may feel anxious and resentful. If you suffer silently, the emotional distance that this absence creates will intensify. The key to change is communication.
The Solution
Talk to each other: Sit down with your spouse. Acknowledge that work is important and sometimes it needs top priority. Recognize and affirm that quality family time is equally important.
Make a date: Find a way to spend time with each other. Schedule a "date night" each week, suggests Kinzley. Getting together for dates will help promote communication and feelings of togetherness, even when your spouse's schedule may be extra demanding.
