Yeah for prioritizing time for ya'll! One of the things we did back before my youngest was born was get rid of cable and once the kids are down- we fold laundry together or just get in bed and talk and hang out. sooo nice! Back in Jan- someone challenged me about memorizing scripture- I have never been good about it but I talked with my hubby and we decided to tackle it together- so now 3-4 nights a week we learn a verse together- we start with 1 verse and than add on the next verse each night- we did Colossians 3: 1- 17 and than Psalm 1 and we are currently memorizing a passage in Philippians. We dont always get to it every night but it has really strengthened and encouraged my walk with the Lord as well as with my husband. just some thoughts to share.... Also- my husband is a Christian counselor(received his degree from Dallas Theological Seminary) and he has a 5 min weekly video blog that covers a wide range of topics- check it out sometime- hopefully it will be encouraging and of benefit to ya'll! <br /><br />http://www.sandhurstchristiancounseling.com/<br /><br />I really enjoy reading your blog- your patterns are ADORABLE as are your kids!<br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162908396790554351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716898325184509523.post-19472712380628166802011-04-07T14:32:13.511-05:002011-04-07T14:32:13.511-05:00Thank you for this, Sabrina.

I do think my 'marriage relationship' has started to improve as my girls get a little older and out of the infant/baby stages..

Having small children drains you of all energy to 'work on a relationship' but ideally the kids leave the 'nest' and you're relationship is still intact. I need to talk to my hubby about this tonight!!! Coexisting is a good word for it. We are a great team but are not really a 'couple' right now.

One thing that Zak and I have done is set aside a "date night"-but not a date night where we leave the house or anything. We put the kids to bed a little early, get take out, and play card games (which sounds so cheesy, but is so fun), do some kind of craft or cooking activity together (wow. this is sounding more cheesy as I write it). something where we are talking and laughing but not necessarily spending any money or even leaving the house. it's really helped us reconnect.<br /><br />and your husband should come before your children. not that you should totally neglect your kids or anything, but a marriage is sacred and is the most important relationship you will ever have.bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726833244459808309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716898325184509523.post-5248241533026182062011-04-05T23:01:24.988-05:002011-04-05T23:01:24.988-05:00I too have had this impression as of late, I think...I too have had this impression as of late, I think you are the only one who can say it out loud! I agree with all that you have said and believe it is so important to cultivate all aspects of your relationship. A friend told me about the Dating Divas site and it has been fun to see what others are doing to increase their relationship with their spouse while raising their family! <br />Thank you and have fun!Drew and Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407394973399120383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716898325184509523.post-30748910917841781632011-04-05T22:56:08.816-05:002011-04-05T22:56:08.816-05:00You make such great points and I appreciate the re...You make such great points and I appreciate the reminders!Tammy @ she wears flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321989418228319069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716898325184509523.post-83416881046328317852011-04-05T22:38:27.214-05:002011-04-05T22:38:27.214-05:00Amen and amen...it is a constant battle keeping ou...Amen and amen...it is a constant battle keeping our marriage first, behind our relationships with Christ.

We actually sat together and watched TV yesterday, while the girls were at school and he had come home early from work. I was so nice :)<br /><br />Let us know if you have more tips!So Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990118235797517757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716898325184509523.post-20945578131170966662011-04-05T22:01:56.833-05:002011-04-05T22:01:56.833-05:00I blogged about this very thing today.
