Just becaues you married him doesn't mean you can't date him

Even after marriage, dating remains an important part of the relationship-maybe even more important. It's a time to reconnect, remember why we like each other and talk about the children behind their backs. We try to make it a priority but sometimes it's not all a bed of roses.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

A Man (preferably yours)
A baby sitter
Some pre-planning

Step 1

Sitters are hard to find, keep one regularly scheduled to simplify

Pick a date and get a sitter.

I have had romantic dates in my life, many or most even after tying the knot. Dating is darned well worth the time expended to set it up. I remember an enchanting dinner at the Jekyll Island Club followed by a moonlit stroll. One magical evening spent exploring an old tavern where presidents had dined. There have also been nights where we just got out and did nothing more than talk.
Step 2

Husbands are worth the time extended, especially ones with plumbing skills

Make reservations or try these creative ideas.

Sure there is always dinner and a movie. Go for it. But also think of some a-typical ideas. Maybe an afternoon program at a museum followed by an early dinner. Try bowling. Maybe a cooking class together. A walk by the river and take-out Thai shared on a pier. Maybe laser tag. How about volunteering to build a park together.
Step 3

You never know where the night may lead.

Get out there.

Have fun out there. Put on some makeup or an outfit that makes you feel great. Enjoy yourself. Occasionally, it was tough to get a conversation going, like as if I were coming out of a thaw, or as if he was just waking up from a year-long hibernation. But, I guess those were the times it was even more important than ever to recharge and connect.
