Zoe writes: ‘To stay together you also need to be apart. So, go do something with your mates, or family, or self, and give yourself a chance to miss each other.’
She goes on to suggest that several days away from one another is ideal, even more if the couple can manage it.
The cosmetics entrepreneur writes: ‘A night or two is even better. A week is sensational.’

Further pieces of advice include having date nights and getting away together to have adventures and try new things.
She also advocates leaving smart phones in another room for an hour a night, so that there are no distractions.
Other suggestions are a ‘no rules night’ when everyone in the family can relax and do as they please, as well as surprising one another with thoughtful gestures.

Zoe stresses that being physical, such as kissing and having sex, is vital, but adds that is unlikely to happen when there is a new baby in the house.
Hamish and Zoe met in 2004 at a media event she later described as a ‘horrible men’s deodorant launch’.
The couple have been married for seven years after tying the knot in 2012 at the Wolgan Valley in the Blue Mountains.

‘I married the love of my life, several lives perhaps, in a very small ceremony that was genuinely the best, most fun, perfect day of both our lives,’ Zoe wrote on her blog of the big day.
Radio star Hamish has likewise gushed about his wife, writing on Instagram: ‘She is the smartest funniest person I know… She is an incredible babe and mother and best friend and wife’.
The couple have two children, son Sonny, four, and daughter Rudy, one.
