Now, every Sunday, we have our sacred two-hour window. We rotate between venues - sometimes it's a cozy corner of our neighborhood coffee shop, other times it's that new cocktail bar we've been meaning to try, and occasionally, when childcare falls through, it's just us in our living room with a pot of coffee when the baby goes down for a nap.
This weekly ritual has helped us have breakthroughs. Sometimes we cry, often we laugh, and occasionally we sit in comfortable silence, just enjoying being together without a baby monitor between us.
It's become our weekly reset button, helping us remember that before we were Mom and Dad, we were two people madly in love who chose to build a life together.
Office hours haven't solved all our challenges - we still have our moments of frustration and exhaustion, but it has given us a framework to handle the complexities of marriage and parenthood with more grace and understanding.
