It's so important to give ourselves that permission as parents.Kristen Howertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055131545156196477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422184319176370977.post-8612032238739802712008-12-12T12:05:00.000-05:002008-12-12T12:05:00.000-05:00Great post girl.

My husband and I are approaching our 15 year anniversary in March and we are so proud of that. He refers to it as "world record time these days." However, we've had our moments just like everyone else. Marriage is the hardest job you'll ever have in life aside from raising kids - most times that is even easier. We have to remember to love more today than we did yesterday. Give more today than we did yesterday. Hug more today than we did yesterday. Etc., Etc., Etc.<BR/><BR/>Great post and thanks for being so transparent with all us blogger BFF's. Ha ha!

We got married in Dec and pregnant in Jan so the time we had as a married couple without crazy pregnancy hormones or a child was very short. We let Wes stay at his grandparents so we can hang out with friends but we never have a "date night" alone. We need to do that really bad, thanks for the reminder :) It really is sooo important for a marriage!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654591507233801703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422184319176370977.post-23135525186838105322008-12-09T20:04:00.000-05:002008-12-09T20:04:00.000-05:00Great post.

You are awes...AMEN...wow, 2 great posts in a row!! You are awesome!!<BR/>Absolutely right on this one... toomany couples become too comfortable and complacent and forget what made them fall in love. We often forget that we still need to "dress up" for each other at times..still need to have dates..still need to have hot sex!! A relationship DOES NOT work on auto-pilot...it just can't!! The other thing is to remember that sex is not a "chore"...it should be done as a loving gesture...to enjoy between both of you...not because you HAVE to....<BR/>Thanks for this reminder (although we are pretty good about this...our babysitter is also my secretary so she is ALWAYS around!!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383060654602178687noreply@blogger.com
