Day 3
Notice Today:
When you and your husband were dating, how often would you meet throughout the week? How did you flex and adjust your schedules to see each other?
Nurture Today:
Schedule to meet each other at an odd time. Have lunch or breakfast out together. Take a late-night walk. Do something out of the ordinary together.
WOW!! Dating... seems so long ago... It is funny to think back at how much easier life was when we were dating. It seemed like we had all the time in the world. There truly was never more than 24 hr in which we didn’t see each other (except the 1 week trip when he went to Honduras but I wrote him 1 letter to read for every day that he was gone). It has been nice recently now that my daughter is in school all day and Isaac goes to daycare/preschool, I am able to skip out of work on lunch to go and see him either at the library (when he is doing his homework) or at home. Sometime just getting to spend the 30 min together of alone time is rather rejuvenating for both of us. I am not sure why but he seems to have a rather constant anxiety that has overtaken him lately and he did mention today when I showed up at the library and it just gave him a sense of peace and reassurance. It was a great feeling to be able to comfort him. Plus we have a lunch date set for Friday since Subway is having a by one get one free deal... YAY!!
ReplyDeleteThe dating world and the marriage world feel so different even though it shouldn't. I remember when jon and I were dating its true we spend every second we had free together. Now its not as big a deal since we know they will be there when we get home. When thinking about it I also realized that we paid more attention to each other and there was a lot more romance. Unfortunely some of that has been lost because now "we got the boy" so why do we have to keep trying. My goal is to remember why we feel in love and that even though I got the guy I still have to keep him. I do catch myself pushing him back when there is something else I want to do. Even though its fine to do my own thing and be my own self I still need to remember that he is important and needs my attention too.
ReplyDeleteI just finished my first test of the week, so now I'm playing catch up on this... Not that that's supposed to be how it works, but you do what you can.
ReplyDeleteWe met for lunch! Haven't done that in forever, if ever! It was so awesome because we felt less pressure about the kids at home and we weren't already exhausted by the long days. We just got to relax and enjoy each other's company. Best date we've had in a while!
