Finding Time to be "Us" | Loving Him

Face it.

Y'all don't get the "We" time that y'all deserve. Right?

There's children that need attending to and GASP! Fed....

There's animals that need the cuddles and pets they deserve.

There's bills that need to be paid, floors that need swept, cars that need fixing, food that needs to be bought, walls that need painting ... I mean, I could go on for days about all the stuff that is needed to be maintained when you're married or cohabiting.

But you know the one that thing that mostly gets overlooked?

Yeah. The reason WHY you're living together.

You actually LIKE each other.

You enjoy each other's company, you love cuddling up, you love being "US."

So how come many couples forget to take a breather and focus on something for just them?

I know I'm guilty.

We get so focused on life, we forget to live it.

My husband and I haven't had a "date night" in what seems like forever. We've just moved to a new city, so we don't have a babysitter that will take on our children - that we trust. So, a night out really isn't in the cards right now.

 BUT

• We have figured out a way to still have us time once the kids are asleep.
• We've purchased adult coloring books ... and colored together with a bottle of wine next to us.
• We've answered silly questions about each other in a silly couple's book I bought from the store.
• We've cuddled on the couch and watched a grown up film that doesn't involve cartoon characters.
• We've baked cookies together.
• We've also sat outside and watched the lightening.
• We even run races together... 

I mean, there's so much to do to with your partner, even if you don't have the money to go out, the babysitter, the time ... ect. You have to make it happen.

Because face it, this is the reason why you have the life you have.

To be together. 

Make the most of it.

So if you'll excuse me, I need to go figure out how to put a screaming toddler into his night pamper so that this movie date on the couch will actually happen!

Good luck y'all!
