Date Night
January 28, 2010 by NaysWay · Leave a Comment
Almost ten years of marriage, and thirteen years of togetherness, I can count our date nights on one hand. Remember dating? Remember how easy it was? Always on the other person’s mind. The flowers. The cards. The stupid love notes. Then you get married and have the house and the jobs and the responsibilities, never mind the kids because how the heck did you get there when you don’t even remember your name let alone doing the thing that produces kids in the first place!
I could say “marriage is work” but it’s so cliche. Any relationship is work, be it with your spouse/significant other, children, parents, in-laws. Especially if I don’t like you, do you know how much work I just put into TRYING TO ACT LIKE I DO?! I’M EXHAUSTED.
Date nights are necessary with your luvah. (Sorry, I just channeled Molly Shannon then.) BFam and I are making vows to each other to try and be more grown up this year, ditch the kids whenever we can, and take time to remember why we like each other, let alone love each other. Which leads me to my question…
When was your last “date night”?
