As newly weds we are still figuring out everything as we go, but intentionally dating each other will always be a priority. And coffee at 5:30 can definitely count as a date! :)Steph Shackelfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199661685548463860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940957888967710802.post-9176104053615531182013-01-22T15:20:31.708-05:002013-01-22T15:20:31.708-05:00I definitely agree about the intention of a romant...I definitely agree about the intention of a romantic night being a big part of the night itself! Thanks for sharing, and I really enjoyed your "Les Mes" highlights over on your blog. I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet, but it's on my Want To Do list!!

In-home dates are about all we have anymore- with five kids' schedules to juggle, the get away time is sparse. In our early "in house' dating years, I loved to create "theme nights" for my man. Now a hot cup of coffee and a quiet house at 5:30 A.M. or a curl up on the couch and dream sharing time at 11p.m. is the date of choice (okay, maybe not choice, but it works!) I just told my husband today that he won't even know what hit him when we're empty nesters one day and I start pouring all my creativity into JUST him. He looked a bit frightened at the thought :) Keep up that planning and dating. You are an amazing example. Thanks for inspiring me today.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022107791689799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940957888967710802.post-50405821391572881992013-01-22T15:03:05.221-05:002013-01-22T15:03:05.221-05:00When our kids were really young, and we didn't...When our kids were really young, and we didn't have the cash for a babysitter, we would do a lot of date nights at home. I would feed the kids and get them off to an early bedtime, and then we would throw some chicken or steaks on the grill, have dinner, and cuddle through a movie. Just having the intention of a romantic night was relaxing. I'm thinking we might need to revisit this soon. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659143242634568450noreply@blogger.com
