As part of my 2013 resolutions, I vowed to have at least one date night per month with my husband. When TSgt Lovebug and I got married in 2009, we were already a pre-made family. He brought two kiddos into the marriage and I brought one. It can be a struggle to find "alone" time when you're starting off with kidlets. You forget that you need to keep your relationship alive and that before you were parents you were YOU. Don't forget that.
I can count on two hands how many times the husband and I have had a date night in the last four years. Is it a sad reality? Yes. Yes it is. It is a sad reality that we let the stress of life stop us from rekindling US or cultivating US. I'm going to change that. That is why I've resolved to bring back date nights! And, I'm doing this with the help of Pinterest.
We've had two dates since Christmas. The Hobbit at Alamo Drafthouse and dinner at Two-Step. I know that it's not much, and that we're already in March but it is a start and that is what matters.
I'm off to scour Pinterest for inexpensive date night ideas. There is a plethora of information out there. Finding ways to reconnect won't be difficult. Following through is the toughest aspect of this. We can do this. We WILL do this. For us. For our children.
