Madonna and her director husband Guy Ritchie are so desperate to spend some �quality� time together that they have devised a meeting schedule.

Madge is currently travelling the globe with her �Confessions� tour and Ritchie is reportedly unhappy with the upheaval it has caused in his family�s life.

The couple are now planning to take time out to devote to one another.

A friend of Madge told Grazia magazine: "They've made appointments to have a 'connection' with each other three times a week.

�Madonna has also requested 'M time' each week, when she will talk to Guy about her career and he will offer advice."

The couple are also planning sacrificing certain things for each other, Ritchie has promised to cut back on his Playstation games and pub trips while Madge has promised Ritchie some home cooking.
