Day 4
You're gonna kill me for posting this picture Sean but I'm going to post it anyway
Yesterday we got a chance to slip away and grab some coffee at a local coffee shop Bon Bon's Coffee Company(one of my favorites!). My mom had the boys for the afternoon and we decided to make it a quick date for us.
Back before we had kids and very little money (hmm...funny. Seems like nothing has changed much...minus adding a couple of kids) we would hang out at our FAVORITE coffee shop The Grind (sadly, it doesn't exist anymore. Boo) We'd sip on our coffee shakes and play rounds and rounds of checkers. We'd laugh and be silly. We hadn't a care in the world.
Fast forward to the present day. We have 2 VERY hyper active boys. It gets downright stressful. I'm not going to lie. I love my boys and would do anything for them, but there comes a point when you need to shift your focus onto your relationship with your spouse. Because when it's all said and done and the kids are out of the house you two are all each other's got!
To be honest, we have somehow grown apart from each other. In the midst of jobs, stress, stress looking for jobs. LOL money, health..blah blah blah we have forgotten to stop and focus on what's the most important thing in our life (next to God).
Our marriage.
I think it's important to kick back and be silly. I think it's important to remember to always make time for each other no matter what. It's important to remember us earlier in our marriage and focus on that. All we had was each other.
Life gets crazy. It's important to slow down and make time for each other. Be silly. Be goofy. Don't be afraid to talk. Laugh and joke and even make fun of each other! LOL
Just don't lose your sense of spontaneity with each other. Remember that it's "till death do you part". And that's a loooong time! Have fun. It's a marriage. Not a sentence!
