Love One Another

My husband and I are celebrating 19 years of "dating" this weekend. Couples do not acheive this accomplishment easily. The fire needs constant attention. When you add children to the mix, the attention is diverted endlessly. Balancing work, family, and fun is always a challenge. As parents and as couples, it is important to refocus on the love that brought you together and keeps you together. I remember our first date consisted of an Italian dinner in Cambridge, Chinese drinks in Brookline, and dancing at a Tex-Mex club near the New England Aquarium in Boston. So every year my husband and I honor each other over dinner in Boston. Actually, every month we try to have a date. Whether it is a quick dinner, an R&B concert, or visiting the neighbors without the kids, we try to focus on ourselves and on our relationship so we can better face the job of parenting together. This weekend take care of yourselves so you can better care for the ones you love!
