How would you feel about dropping the kids off at the inlaws and going for a run with me Saturday morning?

And how does she respond?

She actually said it sounded fun but that she didn't want to "waste" the use of her parents time in place of other babysitting opportunities. Those other opportunities all involved activities with other friends, not one on one time.

Ah, okay. So to her, she would like to engage in group events with you, and she wants the babysitting kept for that ... and what kind of alone time together does she want to have with you?

If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!
