Are You Spending Enough Time Together?

In the beginning stages of marriage, quality time seems to be of importance. It’s a major priority to spend alone time together. At least it should be. No children, no friends, no family members. Just you and your spouse. Have you ever asked yourself, what happened? Does time seem to be slipping away? Are you both not getting along? Are you finding less and less commonalities? If so, read on…

 You’re not alone. Time is everything. We as parents, those who have had children know how busy life can get, because we are so consumed with the day to day busyness of life, we tend to neglect one another without really meaning to. We must be intentional. I think as women we tend to put a lot of responsibility on the man to date us as women. What if we as women were more intentional? What if we planned a date night? What if we cooked a meal maybe lit up some candles? What if we intentionally booked a hotel room?

Men. What if you gave the time and attention needed for your wife to want to do these things for you? Is she always the one planning something for you two? God wants a healthy whole marriage.

Here is one thing that I hear from my children quite often, mom I want to do what you and dad did. I want to take solo trips. I want to keep the marriage alive. It is a gift to your children to spend time alone together. When you place the children before your marriage. You have now found your sole focus. When the children leave, what will happen? It will be mommy and daddy.

Today, be intentional with time alone. If you do not have children together, and you are prioritizing everything but your marriage. I pray today you would let go of what’s taking space and put your marriage at the for front.
