  i don't and it bothers me.
  
  such a simple, relaxing board game, and the wife and i can't find time on a week night.
  too tired, too busy, brought work home, etc etc
  
  something is fundamentally wrong with our lives if we don't have time for simple games

  Maybe you should play some other games with THE wife? Chess is normally played when you have more time at hand, but there times when people play chess even if its for about 20 minutes.
  
  Maybe you two can listen to some soft music instead? or have a simple chat or laugh at some stupid advertisements. BUT if you really want to play chess and nothing else at the moment, reserve a time with THE wife solely for it.

  if you think that chess is boring and for old people then you are sadly mistaken... it is more challenging and more interesting than an PS, Xbox or nintendo game console...
  
  you can play the game a thousand times yet each time you get different results and you are faced with different challenges.
