I recently was picking something up at an acquaintance’s house when she said, “We’re going on our first date in five years. We’re not sure what that will be like.”
Yesterday I heard a radio personality say that she and her husband have weekly dates while their children are at a church youth activity. She mentioned a restaurant.
Our children go to a youth activity, but my husband and I have never made that time a date. The closest we get to a restaurant on Wednesday night is picking up McDonald’s at the drive-through after our weekly trip to Wal-Mart together.
We haven’t been on a date in much longer than five years. Our daughter is nine, and we’ve maybe had one date in that time.
But the date bug is biting me. The kids are older, we do have people who will babysit, and we do have that free time on Wednesday night, nearly two hours of it. I’m planning a date. Why don’t you plan one, too?
