Jay and I have made a point of having a date night at least every Friday night since we got married. We always look forward to it as a chance to unwind from our week, enjoy a nice meal and take some time to just sit and talk. Even when we were broke in law school and again when Jay was starting his firm, we always went on our date. There are a lot of reasons that our marriage has gotten stronger and stronger over the last five and a half years, and our date nights are definitely one of them.
We knew that date nights would temporarily cease upon Joaquin's arrival and we were fine with that. But, we hoped that we would resume regular date nights by the time Joaquin was three months old. Thanks to my dad and step mom, we have succeeded! We have gone on dates the last four Fridays in a row. They are a bit shorter and earlier than what we were used to before, but they are wonderful.
A date night is a great reminder that we aren't just parents, we are a husband and a wife. And we are so lucky to have each other.
