Make date night at home after kids are in bed.

 It's hard to be adults when kids are always around. Sometimes it's really nice to get a sitter and just be alone together. Consider napping when the kids nap during the day to make sure everyone is well rested. Then after bedtime prayers, break out the 8 years and up board games and enjoy some time with your spouse and maybe some friends. Consider what you might want to do, such as placing a quiet radio near the child's room, to keep the possible roars of calamity from waking your children at 2 AM. If your friends have kids, make it a sleepover for them too but be sure the kids know that bed time is bed time and that they need to sleep.
