One of the joys of being empty-nesters is the freedom to be spontaneous. But whether a couple has an empty nest or children still at home, it is important to make time for just the two of you. Thankfully, quite a few of the couples we know are all over this - and have date nights and romantic getaways on a regular basis. Their bond is strong and stays fresh. Big kudos to them!
People who are protective of their marriages or relationships, who not only love their mates, but genuinely LIKE them, will do whatever is necessary to break away from the everyday grind and recharge their passion batteries.
We-time is an essential ingredient for proper balance in a couple's "diet", giving the two who are "one" the ability to maintain their "equilibrium" during the in-between times. If a couple is having difficulty figuring out the whens and hows and where-to-go (in the conventional mode with the aid of a planner), then do something crazy on a weekday and skip work. Go somewhere you haven't been in a long time, check in to a hotel on the other side of town, or just stay at home - close the blinds, turn off all electronic devices - no TV allowed - and enjoy one another thoroughly! Kindle or rekindle that fire, remember why you chose each other, discover new reasons (!) - and watch the miracles!
I believe in miracles! God performs them in our lives every day - and He wants our relationships to be a reflection of His awesome love! He's blessed each of us with a measure of faith, light, creativity and LOVE! Let's make sure that taking care of business never gets in the way of us gettin busy with our mates!
Love one another fiercely!
