….and the marriage.

Lately Bobby and I have been trying to make a habit of date night. You can read all about last night’s date night on my other blog, but we have been trying to do dinner and a show of some sort. This really helps us connect as a couple; we have really needed this time together, especially since we have not really had alone time since Matthew was born.

Date night is important for couples with children because they often get caught up with work, children, and the daily routines that do not involve connecting as a couple. When you make time for each other and spend one on one time together, without the kids you can get that time back together and insure that you don’t grow apart. If we had a babysitter, I would like to have one night each week; but instead we try to do a date night at home when we can’t go out.

Do a Google search for “importance of date night” and you will find great ideas of things to do, why date night is important, and other ways for couples to reconnect.
