Marriage Q&A - Is date night too much to ask?

I write regularly for  "Wasatch Woman Magazine" on emotional health and relationships. Here's yesterdays issue which includes my advice on readers questions.Q: My husband and I spend most weekend evenings attending our children’s sporting events and never go out on dates. He says it’s because he wants to make sure we’re there to support our kids during this short time window of time before they grow up, but I’m feeling increasingly resentful, hurt, and neglected by him. What should I do?(read Julie's advice on pg. 17...)Can you relate? Do you and your spouse have a regular date night? ____________________________________________________________________Julie Hanks, LCSW, owner & clinical director of Wasatch Family Therapy, LLC, specializes in women's emotional and mental health, couples counseling, and family therapy, and has been in the mental health field for 20 years.
