With the everyday distractions of life, its hard to remember to make time for just you and your spouse. We love Kamryn with all of our hearts but we have to remember that this all started because we fell in love and we have to keep that intact in order to keep our family intact. Both of us come from divorced families and want to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen to our family. For that reason, and because we enjoy it, we try to make sure we have a date night, just the two of us at least once a month and if we are lucky, once every two weeks.
With Mike on strike we have to be conservative with our money. This weekend we decided to have a date night but this time we did it at home. We had dinner as a family and put Kamryn to bed just a little bit early. Immediately after putting her to bed we grabbed the ice cream and went out on the deck. It was such a beautiful night and the ice cream cones were so yummy!!
We topped the night off watching re-runs of one of our favorite shows, “The Office”! And taking silly pictures like we used to when we first started dating.
The flash was blinding Mike. LOL!
I am such a homebody so this date night was right up my alley! I really enjoy time with just me and my husband. This might not be the answer to a happy marriage but its definitely a good start! If there is one piece of advice that seems like we hear it over and over from people who have been divorced its “make time for you and your husband/wife.” So I urge everyone to do the same. Your kids know you love them!! But trust me, they will be a lot happier and probably feel more loved if they know and see how much their parents love each other!
