Date Night!

November 9, 2007 in Just Stuff | Tags: , , | Leave a comment

My husband called a little while ago and formally invited me out on a date.  I’m excited!  It’s such a nice treat to be taken out.  With our kids grown and gone we could go to a movie or out to dinner any time we want – and we often do – but to be asked out and anticipate the time is a whole different thing.  It puts a smile on my face just thinking about the time and the fact that he made the effort to make something special of it. 

I’ve got to admit, I have a pretty great husband!

Relationship Myths

  • Love means never having to say you're sorry.
    The more you say "I'm sorry," the easier it is to admit when you really are wrong.
  • I've been around him long enough, I know what he's thinking.
    After 25 years, my husband still surprises me. We aren't the same people we were back then.
  • If she'd fix her problem we'd be fine.
    If you're waiting for something better to happen because someone else is going to change, then you'll be waiting a very long and painful time.
  • It would be easier on everyone if we just quit now.
    For marriages, especially once there are kids, quitting just doesn't work. There's actually a lot more effort involved with balancing two households and you still have to learn to get along!
  • ...and they lived happily ever after.
    Although it's a nice sentiment, we can't depend on it because life is messy. Too many things can, and will, go wrong to expect everything to be rosy.
  • You shouldn't air your dirty laundry in public.
    Now, I'm not saying stand on a rooftop and shout all your troubles to the world, but you should have some very close friends you can trust with anything and everything in your life. Use them. If you don't have them, make them!!
  • It will always be this way for us.
    Only if you both stop trying to work on it.
