Many times, families will be sitting around the dinner table and the conversation consists of, Do you like your carrots? Hire a babysitter for about four hours and give your mate a gift certificate to a local spa where they can enjoy a relaxing massage, mineral springs, sauna, mud wrap, or whatever special treatments are available. When couples are struggling with money problems, tempers flare, frustration builds, drinking may start, and it is an all-around unhealthy situation. Schedule time to get up early one morning with a thermos of hot coffee or cappuccino and find a quiet place where the two of you can go just to watch the sun rise or set.
It might be just surfing, playing games, or getting involved with websites that promote pornography.

In the bedroom, have another note next to an overnight bag telling them to meet you at a specific hotel restaurant where you know the ambience is cozy and romantic.

Be creative and have some fun with this.
It could be that there is a tremendous amount of tension or perhaps they are not sure what to say.
