My husband and I get a babysitter every Sunday afternoon, and she takes our daughter to the local park, or out somewhere, and we get reacquainted. I found I was too tired at night, although he wasn't. I am a morning person and by the time 9 o'clock rolls around, I'm pretty zonked. We have alternated with our friends when we can't find a babysitter and found that EVERYBODY has this problem. We get along better now that we have a good outlet for all that tension! And we also try to take some time everyday and have a conversation that's not about the baby. That gets things rolling and into more couple mode than couple of baby-adoring drones who don't interact as man and woman.
