The New Year


So many times people make resolutions that they don't, can't or won't keep. I am one of those types of people - so, many years ago I stopped making them.

BUT...

There is one that Chris, my wonderful husband, and I did a few years ago that was really cool. It was to have 30 dates with in the year. I loved it, our time was planned out and baby-sitters were set up. Our special time together away from the children :-). This is one resolution that we are going to try to accomplish again this year. I am totally psyched and looking forward to it!
Having a regular date night was really good for us. This was a much needed break/escape for both of us from the mundane and added quality time with just for us.
The date didn't have to cost a lot, for example, we would grab a cup of coffee at the local "St. Arbucks" then walked around Barnes & Noble or took a walk and just talked. Those were some of our most favorite times together just walking, talking and laughing together.
I hope that you take this idea and apply it to your marriages too. God will bless your relationship and your time. Have a great year!
