Embracing the Magic of Dating Your Husband-A Mama’s Tip to Re-Ignighting the Spark in Your Marriage

Friends! Let’s talk husbands…and no, this is not going to be the societal norm of complaining about your husband, in fact, it couldn’t be more of the opposite. 

Let’s start with a heartwarming tale of something that happened and struck a chord with me at a wedding I attended not too long ago. 

Picture this: a lively wedding reception, laughter echoing in the air, and a new couple deeply in love. As the night unfolded, my oldest daughter approached me, coaxing us to dance together. It was a beautiful sight, witnessing us parents dancing with our kids, but this girl (a likely future hopeless romantic) yearned to watch us as her parents dance alone as a couple. As we hit the dance floor together, I witnessed my girls beaming with excitement as they squealed, "Look at mom and dad, look at how much dad loves mom," they exclaimed with joy. 

Love Is An Action

Those simple words held profound meaning, encapsulating the essence of what love is all about. Love isn't just a feeling; it's an action. And we, as parents, want to show our children what love truly means by allowing them to witness and feel it in our every move.

The truth is, let's face it, love needs nurturing, just like a plant needs watering to stay alive. And what better way to nurture it than through dating your spouse? It's all about creating special moments, whether you're laughing, playing together, or even discussing serious matters. Life with kids can be chaotic and demanding, but if you don't add fuel to the fire, the spark can slowly and yet ever so quickly fade away and burn away. 

Personally, I like to think of love like plants….as your local plant-loving mama, this is what comes to mind.  If you want them to flourish, you must sometimes give them extra attention. You have to water regularly, tending with care. I can’t just go weeks without watering and expect that I will come home to flourishing plants.  And after some time of neglect, they will likely need some extra attention. 

I want to be my husband’s home.

I want to be my husband's home, making the effort to dress up in cute outfits, do my hair and makeup, and get all giddy for our date nights. It brings back the excitement of a new relationship and keeps the romance alive.

How To Date Your Husband

Speaking of date nights, they don't have to be fancy or expensive. The key is creativity! You can pack some sandwiches, venture down a dirt road, and have a simple yet heartfelt picnic together. Trust me; it's the thought and effort that counts, not the grandeur of the gesture.

If you're wondering how often you should go on these dates, it is okay to start slow. Once a month is a good beginning, then gradually increase it to twice a month, and finally, aim for a date night once a week! These regular outings will give you both a chance to grow together, just like your kids do.

I'm unapologetically obsessed with my husband. Our love has only deepened over time, and he remains the most handsome man in my eyes. Every time he walks through the door, I can't help but marvel at his kindness and sweetness. Our relationship is a testament to the power of dating your spouse.

So, dear readers, I urge you to keep the magic alive in your marriage by dating your spouse. Let your love story continue to unfold with laughter, joy, and genuine connection. Remember, love, is not a destination; it's a journey, and it's one worth taking together. Embrace the adventure, cherish the little moments, and watch your love flourish like never before.

Happy dating!
