I've been dating...
...my husband.
Guess that was worth mentioning. hehehe.
As prescribed by a therapist and religious leader, we've been working on our relationship by going out on dates several times a month.
- We went to a comedy show, but it was sold out. So we went thrift store shopping instead. It was awesome. (And better than the last time I went to DI and overheard a man making crude noises in the dressing room adjacent to me. And they were not the sounds of a man trying on pants.)
- We got couples scalp treatments with shoulder massages.
- We went to Les Mis.
- We went to a superhero exhibit at an art museum. (Bonus: Andy Warhol's exhibit was there too.)
I've really enjoyed dating my husband again. I consider myself lucky to have this second chance to fall in love with him. We get dressed up. We flirt. We even kiss. [gasp] It's been great for our relationship and I'm very happy.
(Love you, hubs.)
On a related note, sometimes couples don't work out.
Case in point, a friend of mine is getting a divorce. Her name is Brandi.
This is her post about her divorce.
And this is her post about why.
Please take a minute to read them.
I think the truest statement she made was "Marriages are complicated."
What do you do in your marriage to keep the fire alive?
I'm a newbie at the marriage thing, but one big thing I've learned in the short year and a half we've been married is to not get complacent. As newlyweds we can't assume that the newlywed vibes will just carry us on through- making an effort to keep dating is the best thing we have done for ourselves. Otherwise we get bored with life and each other.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! I think lots of couples make the mistake of getting complacent. We did.

past, you do need to have a good look around at what is on offer for different hair types and
textures. Its intention is to offer you ideal cosmetics which are safe and substantial in quality, all
the way through the world.
