Ever since Jonathan and
I got married in 2011 our schedules are extremely hectic. My schedule alone is
filled up most of the time. Between working full time 6:00-4:00 Monday thru
Friday and at the time having class three to four nights a week till 8:30 does
not leave much time for me and hubby.
Now that it is summertime I only work 2
to 3 days a week and have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (for the most part),
we have a little more time for us.
Although we are married
it is extremely important for us to spend time with each other. Since I will be
starting student teaching in 5 weeks, Jonathan and I have tried to plan one
night a week for a date night. This doesn’t mean going out and spending lots of
money. Sometimes this means renting a movie, making dinner, and relaxing at home on
the couch together.
One thing I created is
a date night jar. This date night jar is labeled by the color written on the sticks. Based
on what color is written on the stick, depends on how costly the date night is. In the jar
there are about 40 different date nights. This is a great way for us to pick
something to do because we are both indecisive and can never make up our minds!
Listed below are some
of the dates we have in our jar:
Free:
1.
Movie (that you
have at home) and popcorn
2.
Play a board
game
3.
Bake a dessert
together
4.
Go for a long
walk together
5.
Play the Wii
Little or
moderate cost:
1.
Movie of his
choice (rent or go see)
2.
Movie of her
choice (rent or go see)
3.
Go to a new
restaurant
4.
Go play mini
golf
5.
Go bowling
Pricey and could
require some planning:
1.
Dinner in
Atlanta
2.
Overnight stay
at a hotel
3.
Go to sporting
event
4.
Weekend getaway
5.
Couples massages
This
date night jar helps keep our love strong and lets us work and build on our
relationship even more. I have realized even though I am married now, date
nights are even more important than when we were just dating. I love our date
nights and spending time with my sweet husband!
Thank
you,
