[QUOTE="rickbm, post: 9239750, member: 97249"] Marriage did not impact my game time. I played every other week. When I had a kid I took a 6 month break. Then we played a bit unregularly for about a year. During the pandemic I started playing online with my friends and went back to playing every other week. Then I had another kid and a 3 month break this time. Now I play online for about 3 hours every 2 weeks. The advantage for me and my friends it that it saves us time traveling (two live out of town). I can do most set-up in advance, so it's all just play for 3 hours straight. I do miss being together in the same room, but I'll take what I can get. I think the key is clear communication of your wants and needs with your spouse (not just with planning game nights I suppose). On evenings where I play, I start play after my wife and I put the kids in bed. Then my wife takes care of them if they wake up or whatever (I do the same for her when she has Raid night in WoW).
