I want my children not only to see that I make time for them but that I make time for their daddy. There is no doubt in their mind that I love their daddy but my hopes is to be an example of a positive marriage in the midst of the busy times, hard times, fun times and just life.

The Challenge:

I want to add a challenge for you lovely moms: Don’t wait for him to do the planning (I know it’s lovely to be wooed but sometimes it just doesn’t happen) so why don’t you get it started and set-up. If weekly dates is too much for you, I totally get that. In our house we do twice a month and it’s perfect for us and we take turns planning the dates. My husband loves spending one on one time with me but in the midst of his job he forgets about planning something for us. So this is how we do it: pick a day in advance and I send him reminders as we draw close to our date. To be honest there are 2 months out of the year that I know for sure it most likely won’t happen but we still plan on it.

If that’s still too much for your busy schedule I challenge you to start a once a month date night in or out. Pick one of these ideas from our wonderful mom bloggers or research your own and get started.  Get your calendar out and plan it now! You don’t have to have every detail in place but go ahead and pick a day and let your husband know and send him a reminder as you draw near to your date night.
