Talk to me & finding common ground
It’s not a secret that my husband and I are different, and we really, truly seldom agree on anything, but usually we are able to make it work, however there are times when we do hit road blocks…
For example, a perfect date, (I decided the location should be a beach front) for my husband, would be sunset on the beach, on “chairs”, just enjoying each other’s company, then dinner at a nice restaurant, then you know… back at the room. On the other hand, I think that would bore me out of my mind! I mean, it’s lovely and all, but it’s just not me. I would prefer to walk along the beach, letting my bare feet touch the water, have a lot of banter, laughs and just being generally playful, then a very casual dinner on the beach, and then… let’s just say I don’t mind getting sand in my hair!
I read Mir’s article on marriage today, and I was completely stumped by one particular statement… “I had no idea marriage was supposed to be this much fun”... my husband and I literally looked at each other and said, “marriage can actually be fun?” It’s pretty sad that we get so absorbed with the responsibilities of married life and parenting that we forget that it can actually be fun!
So, friends, what do you think should be our “compromised” perfect date?
