    First of all there is no need for a hour and half workout. Hour tops!! Think of quality and not quantity. More bang for your buck. Lifting weights a couple of days a week, a spin class or some cardio 2 days a week. Hiit training is great to save time. Only 20 min. One day a yoga class. Maybe do the gym 3 days a week and on the weekends. Make the weekends very active. Go to the gym together, go for walks or hikes, etc

    There is always time. Meal prep and Plan dinners on sundays for the week. So making dinner only takes 30 min

    Really get used to schedules. If you plan on having kids it will be helpful. I have 3 kids, a husband, a job with a hour commute and find time to workout every day. Good luck!!!!

    I have had this problem too with scheduling/feeling like I should be home rather than working out. My fiance and I have started going to the gym together a few times a week, it helps us spend a little extra time together and we both get to work out. Not sure if your boyfriend would want to do that, but it's helped us both feel like we're spending more time and getting our workout/self betterment in as well.

    Otherwise, I agree with the comments about having a few gym days and a few days where you're home after work to try and compromise. I'm sure you'll figure it out!
