Our date nights have been pushed aside—but it’s not forever

We will get back to that place one day—that place where you take a purse with you instead of the diaper bag or wear the non-sensible heels.
First things first—I want to say…I understand the importance of a date night . I am fully on board with the idea that your relationship should come first and then, as a happy couple, you can better parent your children. Now that we have that out of the way— in my house, “date night” doesn’t exist. Let me paint the picture for you. I’m a working mom to a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old. My husband who teaches full-time is currently getting a master’s degree and studies constantly for exams. We have real, meaningful time with our girls for roughly two hours in the evening before we put them to bed. Throwing in a date night is exactly what our relationship needs and precisely what it won’t get any time soon.
