Time For Your Marriage
by Dionna Sanchez
Emphasis on Moms
I think at times, we as moms, underestimate the importance and value of our marriage relationship. You know how it goes. You get busy with carpooling, transportation, errands, bath time, chores and all those "busy-type" activities that fill your days. You can barely squeeze in time for friendships and a little pampering of yourself - but time for your husband?? Where does that fit in?
Lately, I have had a few opportunities to be alone with my husband. Truly alone. We have actually had a date...a rare occasion and this week my daughters are in Vacation Bible School every night...BOTH of them! And my stepson is gone on visitation. My husband and I hardly know what to do with ourselves!:)
But what I have found is how refreshing it is. Not because I don't love my children and want them away from me, but because it gives me much-needed and desired time to just "be". Time to refocus, recharge and regroup. Time to be an adult and be with my spouse. I feel much calmer and much more ready to tackle my children's needs!
If you have been putting off spending alone time with your spouse - I highly suggest you put a stop to that. You need to find each other again and be with each other not just as parents but as a man and a woman. Learn about each other's likes and dislikes, flirt and just enjoy one another's companionship. It will benefit your marriage in the long run and it will benefit your children because they will find that mom and dad are happy! And happy parents make happy children.
