This last week in class we briefly talked about dates within marriage. Sometimes i feel as though this is something that becomes over looked when in a marriage because there are several other things that are more immediate. This should not be the case. A few years ago, a really good guy friend of mine was talking to me about the worries that he had about his parents. He had just found out that they had planned on getting a divorce. He was worried that his life was going to be incomplete and confusing because there wouldn't be that solid foundation of family togetherness. After talking to him I realized the fact that his parents, having 10 children, never took time to be together with one another outside the house. It made me consider my future marriage and what I wanted to keep in mind at that time. My own parents have had a rocky marriage here and there, but through all the stresses that have came their way, they have started going on dates now that there aren't any children left at home. It pleases me to know that by doing this, they are finding that true love that was there when they first got married.
