I don’t like to have New Year’s Resolutions. I have found that whenever I do make one I
never follow through with it for very long.
So I tend to set goals for myself each year instead. This year one of my goals is to focus on my
Marriage more. Since having kids, my
husband and I tend to spend more time focusing on the kids than we do on each
other. We have tried Marriage counseling
and were pretty much told that we have a great relationship we just need to
spend more time on one another and learn to communicate more.
Why create a blog about it you ask, well I tend to let
things go and forget to focus on my husband and I. But I have found that blogging keeps me
focused on a task (no I am not new to blogging). So my goal with this blog is to keep me
motivated and focused on my marriage for 2013 and maybe years after (depends on
how much fun I have with this blog).
Too kick off 2013 I planned an awesome date night at home with
my hubby. Neither one of us likes to go
out on New Year’s Eve, so I went out and picked up a nice bottle of champagne
and after we put the kids to bed enjoyed a little alone time. We sat around and talked for a couple hours
and really just enjoyed spending some time alone together. I had planned to get a Pay Per View movie for
us to watch till it was time for the ball to drop, but there was nothing on
that we both liked. So we ended up
watching the Twilight Zone marathon on Sci-Fi.
I know it does not seem like a very exciting night but that
is exactly how we wanted it. I rang in
the New Year with the man I love and we got to spend some much needed time
alone together. It is so important in a
marriage to get that alone time with your spouse. And even if you cannot make it out for a date
night, you can have an awesome date night right at home, it just takes a little planning.
