Over on Chrysalis they're celebrating "Marriage Monday" with this question:
What do you two love to do together that fosters good feelings between you?
One thing I've learned is that we have to be intentional about "together time." Otherwise, life has a way of taking over.
1) One of our favorite fun (and free!) things to do together is visit the local Hallmark store and read funny cards to each other. We start out snickering and end up doubled over in laughter! We don't buy any, but we like to think we help sell plenty of cards! (We do give the store plenty of our business throughout the year -- just not on card-reading nights!)
2) When our daughter was first born, we'd to "go out on the town" to the local mall where we'd split a full-size Cinnabon, a milk, and then sit and listen to the Nordstrom pianist play movie themes for an hour.
3) Daniel loves taking road trips together. (I'm enjoy them once we're on the road!) We just got back from an overnight trip during which we spent about 10 hours on the road. We crank up good music . . . eat at our favorite food joints (yay Panda Express!) . . . stop at every Guitar Center and Dress Barn our GPS can find . . . read aloud to each other (I just read a fascinating chapter from Outliers to Daniel) . . . discuss what we're reading . . .
Road trips remind us of our college days, when life was so much simpler. Ah, the joys of plenty of time to just "hang out" and talk about whatever's on our mind!
So, what do you two love to do together that fosters good feelings between you?
