Go on a date with my husband? Why?

With the commotion and hubbub of everyday we can easily lose our connection to one and other.  Even when you sit down to dinner every day with or without the kids, it isn’t the same thing as a date. Remember back to when you guys originally dated? There is magic in the air. Everyone treats each other a little better. You are sweeter, nicer, more of a gentleman or woman to each other. You guys had bubbles in your tummy. When you not only start to regularly date your husband but actually call it a date this changes things. It puts expectations on the night.

 You have to put in the effort, brush your hair, get dressed up, and don’t leave the house with spit up on your shirt. You actually dress yourself to impress the other person. These things tell each other, I went to this work just for you. It’s different then going to a dinner party that says I got dressed up for others. He needs to know you are doing this for him and him alone. Men same thing applies to you, and don’t chimp out, hold the doors for her, pull out her seat, remind her how beautiful she is and how much you love her.

Now on to the date,  I hear from so many couple I can’t go on dates with my husband,  we can’t afford to eat out. Who said anything about spending a lot of money or even any at all? My husband and I take turns each week planning the date. One rule: as cheap as possible and it cannot cost more then $10 ever. Now that is for our weekly date challenge. (we can plan something on the side that costs more when we have a little extra money)But this way we never have an excuse for why we can’t go out. We will go get an appetizer then go for a walk. We will get dessert and then window shop. We will go to Barnes and Nobble and pick out a book each(an agreed topic of learning) look them over together, and discuss cool articles or our day or whatever over a cookie and a hot chocolate. If you are creative you can do tons. Do you have a dollar theater in your town? Perfect!! The point is to just get out together under the pretences of a date. It is amazing how good you will feel when you take the time to show each other how important you are to one and other. So start dating your man again!
