Are you @#$%ing kidding me??

I think everyone knows someone whose familial order of importance = kids first and marriage second.

They *gasp* at the thought of things like date night (because "spending time with the kids comes first")and *shudder* at vacay without Suzie and Johnny (and their last childfree outing = their honeymoon.) LOL.

I just think it's important to be able to relate to each other as more than "mom and dad." At some point, your kids move out and you need to have more than life as parents to stay together.
