Very young bride

Dear Dr Phil,

     I love your talk show; I think you and Robin are the greatest,
I would like to think you are my idol, and I look up to you both,
I have been married for 19 years now and I am only 34, so it has been over half of my life, my children are 17,13 and 9 and I like to try to raise them
To your standers, because I have found them to be quit true and easy to apply

But the one question I have is when do you get time for yourself? And do something nice and cheap? We never had a real wedding or a honeymoon for that mater but love each other a great deal. We have been through a lot over the years but watching you has solved a many of problems, so thank you very much for everything.

A reader says ... It is important to make time for each other.  It doesn't have to be expensive.  Your children are old enough to spend the weekend with friends or family.  Then you have the house all to yourselves.  Make a nice dinner for two and dress up like you are going out.  Only since you are not going "out" your outfit can be a bit more daring.  With the house empty, you may enjoy your "activties" in any room ... living room, bathroom, even on the kitchen table! Total cost for the weekend  $0 .. the look on your husband's face .. priceless
