I think this millennial generation has come to accept the busy lifestyle of a two income household compared to previous generations. You know your SO best so it’ll boil down to random gestures: a fancy computer accessory, a random bouquet of flowers, DoorDash their fav meal (or make it).
But you should definitely take time to acknowledge how busy your lives are and check in occasionally.

Absolutely. It’s a challenge. My wife and I try to find a way to make sure that the time we do spend with each other is focused on each other, although not sure how sustainable that is. Find whatever works.

Totally get that. Trying to make the limited time we do have really count, but it can be hard to keep that up week after week. Still trying to figure out what actually works for us long-term. Glad to hear we’re not the only ones!
We are ships passing in the night at this point. I hate that it is that way but with kids and sports and all the other things, we hardly spend time together except on the weekends. We make sure to have a date night every single Friday to connect with one another.

Oh wow, that really does sound familiar! Some weeks it feels like we’re just roommates passing each other on the way to the next thing. I love that you two have a standing Friday date night though. We might have to steal that idea. Thanks for sharing!
Pro
Definitely. Some days its only a few minutes and it takes a toll. We're working on ways to make it more.
It's probably a little easier for us because we don't have kids, but we make the time for each other. We stick to our work hours with the occasional exception so that we can eat dinner together most nights, and we try to have breakfast together as well (though she is more of an early bird and I'm a slice of toast on the run type).
