It just seems so very forced and like a "band aid" for unhappy couples to "fix" their relationship. However, I understand now that, especially after children, allocating time just for you and your husband needs to be prioritized. Call it date night, call it whatever you want, but if you don't do it time just tends to pass by without you having any time as a married couple together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-31226511191866130602009-03-04T09:27:00.000-08:002009-03-04T09:27:00.000-08:00I'm just getting online after getting my two kids ...I'm just getting online after getting my two kids bathed, fed, out the door to school.
