Anyone have any good tips for finding quality time with the S/O when the kids are always up to something?

Great advice. It's so easy to get sucked in to transactional parenting.

Calendarize “connection time” when the kids are asleep. Just keep it simple. Make plans for date nights if you can. And try to put the phone down and focus attention to increase quality time.

I can really only "me too" @jkg.eth here... Putting date nights on the calendar makes it much easier to carve out time and reinforces that your together time is as important as your kids' activities. Even on nights in, choose activities that cause you to interact. Board games > Netflix.
