Make Time for Romance
The truth of the matter is that we really do make the time for the things that are most important to us. Personally, I believe strongly that romance needs to find a place on your schedule, too.
At the Rainey house, we work hard to save some of our best for each other. When our kids were much younger, this was more difficult because raising children demands so much time and energy, not to mention getting babysitters! So occasionally we put the children to bed early and turned our bedroom into our own romantic café, complete with a small table, tablecloth, candles, and flowers (when I remembered to pick them up). Well, we ate there, we talked, and we relaxed. We didn't even have to leave the house to get away alone.
One final thought. Even a simple stay-at-home date has to be scheduled. Why don't you make romance a priority in your marriage, starting tonight?
