Why is Dating even After Marriage Important?

-

On today’s blog I want to talk about date nights and why they are important to have even after your married. So, why is it important? In a relationship it can be easy to fall in love, but it can also be just as easy to fall out of love but why is that? In a marriage something can get pretty predictable, lives can get busy with work or school, and as sad as it is people get bored and all those things cause people to drift away and part and that romantic spark that once was there fades away but what can we do to stop that?

Marriage can be so busy especially if you and your spouse are working and in school and rarely get to see each other. Having date nights is one the best ways that can help you and your spouse connect.

Making time for date nights can be a big help within a marriage to keep things spicy and interesting even if its once a week or once every two weeks or for those who are busier ones or twice a month. if you are the one planning the date, make sure to put thought and effort because by doing it so it allows your spouse to know that you and are willing to invest time and effort into it.

Date nights can lead to more time being shared between you and your significant other. Couples who tend to build and have date nights every now and then into their marriages tend to experience much better communication, much greater affection between one another, and have a desire to spend more time with each other. Date nights can provide a welcome environment for both spouses and can cause couples to focus on the important issues without the need for distractions.

You could also say that having date nights is almost of an opportunity to communicate with you spouse and that may and can deepen the understanding and the connection of the marriage, they help rekindle and strengthen that romantic spark and the commitment between you and your spouse.

Date nights do not have to complicated or expensive (what I know) they can be as simple as staying home with each other and enjoying each other’s company or planning a simple but cute little picnic with things you have right at home or watching a movie together, sometimes the simplest actions are the ones that mean the most.

In an article I read date nights was shown to be the best way to improve a marriage, the study that they talked showed the improvements being made for married couples who went on frequent dates, as well as evidence that married couples who devoted time together at least once a week had low divorce rates.

I know from personal experience marriage can get pretty hard especially when I have to juggle work and school, I really do not want to be that wife or mother that has to schedule my family or spouse around work, my husband and I try to have date nights as much as we possibly can especially right now. I stress out and have anxiety so it helps to know that my husband and I have set out a day where we can spend quality time and unwind and just enjoy each other’s company and I enjoy because its something big that took a whole week to plan but something so simple like staying in our pj’s and watching movies all day or simply going on walk and communicating with one another and I would not change that at all.

I encourage you to go continue going on dated even after your married because it will make a big difference with the big and small things.

-
All around the world there are so many families that have different rules, different customs, and different traditions. although there are families around world with different rules, let us go smaller and take a look at our own families or even our friend's families. what are some rules, customs, or traditions you may have within your own family? Have you ever wondered why families rules, customs, and traditions are important and why we still tend to follow them at times outside of home? in an article I read on the website "Raisingchildren.net" it talks about why these things are important, to sum it up it says that having rules, traditions, and customs give a type of security and belonging we need, it something special and something that is done together.  Family rules and what not have been drilled into our heads growing up and I think that is why we continue to follow them even when we are away from home. Take a moment to think about a rule, a custom, or a tradition th

On today’s blog we are going to talk about different parenting styles. Have you ever wondered how you want to parent or how you will parent? Well today I want to talk about the five main parenting styles which are: Permissive, authoritative, neglectful, authoritarian and Helicopter parenting.    Starting with permissive: the common traits are It is child - driven  Almost rarely enforces any type of rules  Tries to always avoid conflict with child Permissive parents are more likely to take a friendrole, rather than a parenting role. They are loving and warm. They let the child call the shots and allow them to do whatever they want with no rules and expectations. Another thing about permissive parenting is that parents don't have nor want the control, meaning that children have complete freedom to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes hoping that these lessons may stick and the child will learn something better than simply having rules.  The second is authoritative: The common
