Date 1: Choosing a High-Priority Marriage

12:35 PM

"
Preparation: Before we even went on a date we started by reading the first chapter of "10 Great Dates to Energize Your Marriage" By:David and Claudia Arp. I can't lie having only been married a month, and with life being pretty good I didn't think a book like this was for me and my spouse yet. I pictured a older couple with the flames of love dying. (Dramatic I know) But the truth is it's never too early or too late to start dating your spouse again. The chapter started us out by taking a trip down memory lane we where able to talk about our "love story" and why we love each other and when you get caught up in all the mundane things about life it's easy to forget why you are choosing your marriage. We talked about tinder and how different we are but the little things we love about each other he loves that I care about others and I love that he doesn't doubt himself like I do it was neat experience to take that time to just talk about why we are together and what we love it was a very meaningful conversation and one I wouldn't have had without a book.

Date 1: We wanted to do something fun that would make us both laugh and enjoy each others company and something were we could both talk for us that was sledding despite the fact that it is freezing here in Idaho and I hate the cold. It was something to get me out of my comfort zone and open up. Also I fell of the sled a few time and had so much fun I forgot to take pictures.Which brought us to next part of the book which is what is great about us and for us it's the fact that we can do new things together and try new things. This date really did make it to we understood that even with all the things that we are going to face and are going to have to do that we choose our marriage we choose each other and we are going to make this our life's priority. 

Post Date: Our homework is to read chapter 2 and look for positive ways to improve our marriage my goal is to not be so negative.
