Anyone who has d:one pre marital counseling and/or held a conversation with another wife has heard the importance of having a date night with your husband. Now with two small children, limited budgets, and day to day responsibilities this does not seem like an easy task. But, a 'date' does not have to mean what it did in high school. If I had to take a shower, get ready, hire a babysitter, get things ready for the boys, go out to dinner and an activity, come home, clean up after the boys and babysitter, and then get in bed late having a date night would happen once in a blue moon. That is why I loved this idea and I felt stupid not having ever thought of it myself.
Project 52:Date Nights will begin in our home next week. Just in time for Valentine's Day!
Our solution was to always stay up, together, for an hour after the kids went to bed. We were alone, and able to talk or even sit and enjoy silence. It paid off!
ReplyDeletebut that would require us to both be home when the boys went to bed which we are not atleast 3 nights a week.
