Each week my husband and I make Tuesday evening our couple’s night. After the kids are in bed, we don’t turn on the TV, we put aside our computers and personal reading material, and we spend time together. Sometimes we talk; other times we read a book together and discuss it.
I love these times of “bonding” with Jay. I appreciate that I have a husband who is interested in keeping our relationship alive and meaningful. Recently we found a list of questions to ask and discuss as a married couple. The questions ranged from “On your drive to and from work, what consumes your mind a majority of the time?” to “When you reach the end of your life, what might you wish you would have done that you haven’t done so far in your life?”
The neat thing about taking time each week to maintain a good marriage is that it not only strengthens us as a couple, it also strengthens us as individuals. The points we discussed caused me to analyze my life and my future.
Jay and I decided to focus on one dream that we each have, and make steps toward that dream. In both of our cases, it was something that we’ve always wanted to do and had almost resigned ourselves to the idea that those dreams will probably never happen. But they are not impossible dreams. By working as a team, I truly believe we will be able to discover what it is to have a dream come true.
