Marriage tip #1: Time-Management with Date Nights

For the most part of life, time management wasn't all that complicated.  There was school and work to fit in after Church, family and friends.  It all fit and worked out.  Married life and time management seems to be a WHOLE other story.  It's like when you are getting ready in the mornings... if you have too much time to get ready then you get side tracked or loss track of time while filling in extra time you have.  BUT then all the suddenly you have too LITTLE time to get ready and then your rushing to catch up.  OR if you over sleep, you rush to get ready and somehow get it all done just in time to leave (even though you were short on time).  The same goes for married life.  It is simply amazing how an empty week can quickly be consumed by a yes here from Alex and a yes here from me.  Before you know it, you've gone Monday to Sunday in just a few short hours....or so it seems like. 

   Time is so precious and I value every moment Alex and I can get together.  That's why I love our Sunday nights.  We sit aside either Friday or Saturday night for DATE night and then Sunday nights we have a NO PLAN POLICY.  We don't make any plans with anyone or for anything so we can rest (as you suppose to do on Sundays) and then time together!  It is DEFINITELY something every married couple should do...to have at least 2 nights a week set aside for you and your spouse only.  And at LEAST one should never more or be compromised.  It truly is a great commitment to  make to your spouse.
