Date night saved my marriage (and my sanity)

Started doing one night a month where my wife and I just... go out. No kids, no planning, no talking about logistics. Just us. Sounds dumb and simple but holy shit it made a difference. We were in a rough patch—both resentful, disconnected, stressed—and this one small thing helped reset us. Also gave me something to look forward to which helped with the depression creeping in. My mom watches the kids. 4 hours twice a month. Game changer.
