Friday Night

Every Friday night, my husband and I have date night. We take a few hours after work to just be together. We sometimes go out to dinner and movie, do a little shopping, or sometimes we just stay at home cook dinner and watch whatever series we are hooked on at the time. This doesn’t happen every Friday because we do have other things that come up and we have to change it to Saturday night or Sunday after church. No matter what day it may be, it’s the fact that we make that time together. Peyton is usually with one of our parents or with a friend of ours. So there’s no running around trying to keep up with her. We also limit our phone usage. So there’s not that distraction.

We started this date night routine when Peyton was very young. We knew that as she got older that things would get crazier and we would always be busy. Since then, we have strived to make sure once a week (sometimes every other week) we take a few hours together. I can’t even begin to explain the wonders that it does for our marriage. It’s something you will just have to experience yourself.

So, find someone to watch the kids and plan a date. Make tonight date night. And if you can, make every Friday date night. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant if you are on a tight budget. Rent a movie, borrow one from a friend, cook something you both like, and mainly HAVE FUN! I promise you will love it.
