I'm very much in the same boat as the OP. I work a lot of hours each week, study part time. My wife works and studies part time. One of our biggest issues is I like to be an early riser where my wife is a bit of a nightowl.
All the comments about make time for your relationship or it will be over I disagree with. My wife and I spend very little time together, but it's the little things that keep it going.
I wrote a windows script that opens up a box when she starts her laptop which says I love you and she has to click the ok button to make it go away. Little IM's or txt msgs, flowers every now and then.
I feel if the groundwork is there, you are both confident of where you're at within yourselves and each other and you can keep a trickle of romance alive, a bit of time pressures will not spell the end of the relationship.
