Date Night for Married couples means so much more. It is not only time for them to get together and “adult” without any kids around but also a time for them to connect mentally. Often times, Date Night is seen as a way to “hook up” for sex or do something risqué but that is simply not true. As I dressed for our night out I started to get nervous as if it were our first date again. My booty was sitting right in my high waisted mom jeans and the faux fur vest was a nice Cookie Lion added touch. I stood in the mirror applying my lip liner as my face dried from my Morphe Setting Spray and was so ready to just get away.. even if only for the night.... See, I was so happy we were getting alone time that I didn't care if we just rode around the block… it was going to be KID FREE block ridin. Out older Sons were occupied with all of their cousins at my Grandmothers house wrestling their little hearts out and fighting over iPads. Our youngest son was cozy in a lap nearby by way of my cousin and my Mother. With a belly full of milk and knee that was bouncin after a warm bath- he was living his best life. I finished my makeup and cut the light off stepping into the hallway and headed towards the couch to wait for my Hubby. Flipping through my many social media apps I started to bore when I could smell his Jay Z Gold cologne approaching. I looked up as his frame filled the doorway and immediately felt the goosebumps as he said, “you lookin good Bae.. let’s ride.” Grabbing my small Gucci shoulder bag, we hit the road jumping on the highway with our many stresses.. baby bottles.. broken action figures behind us.. this night was all about us.
One of the worse things any couple, married or unmarried can do is stay together “just for the kids.” When the kids are all grown up and out in the world on their own it will only be you two. As a couple, the connection must remain clear and consistent. Static on the line of communication can cause unnecessary arguments that can build up and turn into heated blow ups. Static can be anything from a miscommunication about who is making dinner tonight to a missed Parent Teacher Conference. Having a strong connection makes these instances seem meaningless errors as opposed to huge mistakes. A Date Night once a week or maybe even monthly can really be the difference between Happily Ever After or “do you want to have every other weekend visitation or every weekend.” Now, of course I am not saying dates prevent Divorce.. what I am saying is if we take a minute to continue Dating our spouse when the issues of life come up, they will be so much easier to handle, together.

I loved everything about this post as I am trying to find the balance between mommy, business owner and girlfriend. It is very hard getting alone time especially when everyone feels like we’re just trying to have sex. But thanks Ti for sharing your story😍
