Marriage.
It’s that thing that defines a major part of who we are. We plan for it, dream about it, and sometimes venture into it without much thought about the ‘after’.
I love being married and have been now to the same man for 13 years. We’ve had our shares of ups and downs (sounds so cliche, doesn’t it?) Really, that’s just a nice way of saying that there have been hard times that have come from without and times when our selfishness and sin have been the culprit.
We married young, I was barely 22 and he 23. We waited six years to have children, for various reasons. We took being able to go out whenever we wanted for granted, not realizing that life after kids would change the face of our dating landscape.
Seven years and 4 kids later, we’ve gotten rather creative with our date nights. Through the years we’ve had to re-think our vision of what that meant.
Sometimes a bottle of wine, special dessert, and a fire are really all that’s needed to get the other fire started.
So won’t you join me ?
For the next 31 days we’ll be diving into how to make our date nights at home a little a little more creative and a lot more fun!
i am really excited to read this series! my husband and i have 2 kids 3 and under and don’t have family close by, so we often have to resort to at home dates (babysitters are not cheap!) — hope your series will give us some new ideas!
I hope so, too, Renee! Thanks for stopping by, and if you are able to use any of the recipes or suggestion, please let me know 🙂
