A couple wait to discuss any issues at their weekly 'admin meeting' that they also use to keep on top of their busy family life - and say it has strengthened their marriage.
Rachael Shepard-Ohta, 34, and her husband, Marley, 37, began scheduling the sit-downs after her therapist suggested it may help - and set an agenda each week together.
The pair keep a note of anything they want to mention throughout the week before bringing it up to each other on a Thursday morning – a time when their three kids, aged five, three, and three months, are at school or sleeping.
