Date Night

"We need a date night."  Sometimes I say it, sometimes Jen says it, sometimes neither of us realize the need soon enough - but in this phase of life, every so often we need a "date night."

But this wasn't always the case.  For many years of our marriage we did not need to plan out, or schedule date nights.  I would hear the advice to make sure they were part of our marriage, and politely nod and smile on the outside, and internally say, "whatever."

At that point in our life, every night was date night.  We didn't have as many things pulling us in different directions.  Now between work, kids, friends, and other commitments - we need to ensure we have focused time to stay connected and close.  (And we spend more time together than most couples our age)  So yes, at times date nights are important!

But more important is keeping tabs on your marital health.  Paying attention to your (and your spouses) marital tank.  And making moves to fill the tanks!  Date nights are a chance to make a deposit into your marriage - depending on the season of your life - they may be just the thing!

Do you need to schedule a marital infusion?
