CNN Wants To Help Save Your Marriage From Your Kids

CNN says having a baby is exactly like that Norah Ephron quote: "When you have a baby, you set off an explosion in your marriage, and when the dust settles, your marriage is different from what it was." But CNN reminds us that from destruction can come renewal and a better understanding...

It's the age-old question: how does a marriage survive The Apocalypse, or at least 3am feedings?

There were the routine squabbles about everything from how to discipline the girls to our own expectations -- and disappointments -- about our postbaby selves. I wasn't fun-loving enough anymore; he was watching too much TV and talking to me too little.

Through it all, the nagging question remained: How could we nurture our marriage...

Solution: "Try to treat your relationship with your partner as the one that's most important in your life... and the whole family will benefit from it." You may think CNN is saying "neglect your kids at the expense of your love life," but no:

You don't need a whole weekend away or even a regular "date night" to keep the spark alive. Dov and Chana Heller... take short walks alone to catch up.

Any better ideas, folks?
