Sometimes, I gripe about my husband...probably more than I should. We all do. But, really, since having two children with him and especially in the stage they're in now, it's clear to me that we need to put more focus on our relationship now than we ever have before. It's so easy to get caught up in the raising kids thing that you forget about the person that you committed your entire life to, the person that will be by your side for always, and the person with whom you will be relationship role models for the little people in your house that are always watching!
So, I'm going to brainstorm and come up with some ideas for a bigger focus on our relationship.
- Plan a date night once a night. The kind where you actually leave the house...alone...without the children.
- Make sure that your date is for you, as a couple! i.e. golfing, a concert, dinner at a restaurant...there are lots of things you can do together.
- Cook dinner together, play games together, watch movies together.
- Give little gifts and/or treats.
- Designate time at home every day to just talk, whether it's something big or just how your day was...just to connect with each other.
