'The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him'...
Genesis 2:18
One of the fun things A&I have done since being married, is continue to date.
We didn't go on many while we were dating as we both lived in different countries.
So most of our trips to see each other were when both of us were 'home' from college and therefore we hung out with both our families a lot.
That was a fun season as we both got to know each other's families really well during that time.
We went on our first 'official' date the Summer of 2008 when I came to the States during my summer vacation to visit A.
We went to Chilis.
I'm sure we were quite overdressed but that's kinda how we roll.
If we do a 'date night' usually we like to dress up.
It's great how that can make an evening seem really special.
Not all date nights are to restaurants.
We recently went to a basketball game....totally a well-spent $27 as we ended up in 7th row VIP seats.
That's a fun story.
Other dates we have done are just walks around some pretty estates there are near our home.
But I love how dating while married continues to encourage intimacy.
Its our time away from the house, to spend time together.
My love language is totally quality time, so I adore these evenings.
They make me feel so connected to A.
Its a wonderful time to share your heart with each other, although lately we've been working on leaving topics like moving home, financial situation, difficulty with intimacy, job searching which are stressful for another time.
If you guys have any creative date ideas, I would love to hear them.
Also, what's your Love language.....I would love to hear that, you can take a short quiz here. So helpful for figuring out how other people feel loved.
Much Love,
L
P.S. You've probably heard this before but.....Marry your best friend - you'll never be bored!
