Our "dates" usually consist of kayaking or going to the movies. But, I have been planning a stay-at-home date for this evening (also perfect timing because we can celebrate him getting a raise this morning) We are going to have a nice sit-down dinner (I am making manicotti) and watch a movie. Plus even though we wont be going out, I'm going to get to dress up. I have a dress that I bought because I fell in love with it (and it was on sale!) but I’ve never had the occasion to wear it.

Seeing as we are living very frugally (although occasionally treat ourselves to a date that includes paying for a sitter (we don’t have any family nearby)), we have been embracing date nights at home for a while now. But, having date nights - at home or otherwise - requires more than just planning something that isn’t part of the normal doldrums. We have to keep in mind why we were “dating” each other. Our top priority in dating one another was reconnecting - sharing something that we both enjoy. The cool thing is that we can do any activity that we wish, including ones that we hate, as long as we have the correct mindset. How? Well, aren’t we marriage because we enjoy (or at least at one point in time did) our spouse? As we spend our special date nights together, we focus on seeing the blessings of each other. The things that we like about the other person. As it is human nature to dwell on the negative, sometimes I have to stop and remind myself of all of the wonderful things that DH is and does. When we are focusing on the positives in each other, our relationship is strengthen and we feel a greater depth of love for one another.
