When my DH and I were ttc a few years back and when we were going through IVF, we had a few things we did to help keep ourselves sane, our morale up and to simply cope.

One night a week was a designated "date night". We went to the movies and ate popcorn and candy and didn't talk about IF issues. Sometimes, DH brought me flowers and went outside and rang the doorbell to pretend that we were back dating.

During our IVF treatments, we went out to breakfast a lot and then DH would go to work late.

We spent lots of time snuggling in bed and watching TV or listening to music.

I think it's so important to try and keep your marriage in tact while enduring such a horrible thing as IF. And I'm proud to say that our marriage is stronger today as a result of sticking it out together.
