Weekly Tip #2 ~ Memory Lane Night

Preparation:
Schedule a date this week for when you'll have 15 - 30 uninterrupted minutes together. Make the date and KEEP it no matter how tired you are. This is the first step to reconnecting . . .

The Date:
Let's remember our first days together and how we fell in love. Think about those dates, the proposal . . . all of the yucky love stuff (which will make sense to you if you've seen My Best Friend's Wedding!). For your date, sit together in a quiet room and tell each other about your favorite moments. If you have little ones who are still up when you do this, gather them up in your laps and let them hear about how Mom and Dad fell in love. If you have a wedding video, watch it together . . . reminiscence, laugh, enjoy . . . and bring back those warm fuzzy I'M SO IN LOVE feelings.

Time Involved:
Spend at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 or more.

Cost:
Absolutely nothing!

Follow-up:
How did it go? Did you enjoy the time together? Did you keep the date? Have you scheduled time for next week? Did those special memories of falling in love came back? If so, let's not let them become a distant memory!

See you next week!
