Sox: If you have to ask, the answer if most likely no. Go to Ikea or Pottery Barn and invest in a bunch of candles.
Romance is important, even if you've been married for years. Surprise your wife... create a dinner for the family and when it is cooking, draw a bubble bath for your wife. Light dozens of candles and bring her a glass of wine. While dinner is cooking, bathe the kids and put them in their pajamas.
Then, get your wife's nicest robe, help her out of the tub and dry her gently. Give her the robe and lead her to the gourmet dinner you prepared. She will be very happy to see that the kids are bathed and ready for bed after dinner.
Do all of the dinner serving and the dishes afterward.
Either you or the wife may put the kids to bed, but if you follow these instructions, you may get a nice marital reward.
