Quiet Time

This is great marital advice. Institute "Quiet Time."

When the babies are fussy or trying to avoid a nap, what parent hasn't said, "Shhh! It's quiet time?" Why is this limited to children?

The husband and I do this with each other. If he brings up a subject that I don't wish to discuss, I pretend to be half-asleep and announce that it's Quiet Time. If he's dozing and I'm chatty, it's his turn to declare Quiet Tme.

I've been accused of beating a subject to death. The husband loves the option of Quiet Time.
