Making Time for Your Spouse
Those who know us, know that Tom and I are very intentional about date nights. We shoot for one, kid-free night out per month – sometimes more. We cherish our date nights for carved-out couple time, time to focus on one another, and reconnect.
When taking pre-marital classes, and in visiting with my parents who were married for 43 years before my Dad passed, we heard over and over: “You are a couple first – before having children, before taking on the roles of Mom and Dad – so it’s critical to treasure and uphold that relationship above all others” (with the exception of our relationship with God, of course).
