Recently my wife and I separated. The separation is fairly amicable and she and I have vowed to remain partners in raising our kids to avoid making them feel divided or abandoned. We take turns watching them when the other is busy and have an open door approach to visits. We still take them out as a "family" to movies and such just under the pretense that mom and dad are friends now instead of husband and wife. 
I know there must be a ton of examples of kids who had great lives despite their parents divorces and I hoping you can tell me some of the things I can do(or avoid doing) to make sure my kids know they are still the number one priority in our lives despite our lack of marriage.
