So in the spirit of Love, Romance and Passion I thought I should share some of the highlights of the current season of my marriage with Jason. We have gotten in a routine since the day a little over 10 years ago when we said I do, that we make up pet names for each other. Or rather I have several pet names for him and he occasionally comes up with one for me! As of late we have worked pretty seriously at dating again. We rendezvous in the pool when the sun goes down and the kids are in bed..... We give more time outs which allows for a few extra smooches in the kitchen while the kids are in their rooms thinking about their actions. We try to cook 1 to 2 meals a week together. Where we come up with something crazy that sounds good and cook till our hearts content. We dance a little and sample the savory dishes from each others fingertips.......
Proverbs 5:18 May your fountain be blessed,
Proverbs 5:18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your
youth.
Our Marriage is the center focus of our union right after God in our lives. Thirdly is each others needs (the little personal things) then 4th is the children. We don't worry that our children will grow up with weak self images, in fact quite the opposite. We are raising very independent, emotionally intelligent boys who know we love them and we set very safe boundaries. Boundary #1 is Dad and Mom's door is often locked after 8:30 pm and sometimes before 8:00am!!!! Please knock and if no one answers come back in 30 minutes. We have some simple rules that our boys stick to very well. Ladies....the First thing our children need to know is that We love their dad!!!!
Our focus in this season of marriage is to remember the simple things that brought us great joy and then recreate the scene.... In our nearly/early 30 bodies we have found it fun to explore how our bodies have changed and how that has impacted what we look for and need from each other!
