Sometimes we need to get away from our spouse for them to appreciate us...hence the popular saying 'you never appreciate what you have....'
When your husband/wife misses you he/she will dwell on the positive things rather than the negative and before long he/she will blow up your phone to come back home. Try one week or two weeks alone on vacation. It does help. Men who think the kids are too noisy will definitely go crazy with the silence after few days ........
