Me and hubby got married in our late 30s - first marriages for both of us. And we've never made efforts to have alone time...I dunno...somehow it just all works out. Like, I'll be doing my thing and he'll be doing his in another room and it just all balances out. But, nothing wrong w/ planning your alone time too - like a Saturday afternoon for shopping or bookstore or whatever. I bet it'll come naturally once you two settle in.
