A Date Night in Bed


More tips from ABAL, oh my!  :)  I hope it's ok with you if we talk about intimacy openly from time to time...after all, this is A Blog About Love :)  And we think it's important to talk about it as it is one of the most important & beautiful parts of a marriage. 

I hope this doesn't sound too Cosmo.  Eeks!  That is not my intention.  Just want to share a tip that I think is really great & that I think might be helpful for a lot of people out there....

Have a date in bed - - in other words, set aside some time to be together (no clothes allowed :) and here's the key...do not make the agenda.  Yep, no :)  You know how much I believe is so important in a marriage, but to vary the emotional intimacy & connection from time to time, I think it's so nice to be together in such an intimate way without the expectation that this moment is leading to .  It allows you to have some set aside time for intimate, loving & kind conversation with your spouse...the kind that maybe doesn't happen in such a powerful way so often due to time/schedule/work/kids/etc.  (And I'm guessing that long, natural conversation & completed sentences aren't exactly happening during , either, right?  ha!)  So.... 

-Ask your spouse to just cuddle. 
-Lay very close to each other.  
-Caress, etc., etc.
-Speak as kindly as possible to one another.
-Tell each other all the things you appreciate about each other.
-Tell each other thank you for all that they are doing for your family.
-Ask if there's anything you can do for the other person.
-No rush.  Just many moments of togetherness and closeness & tender conversation. 
-Fall asleep together.......OR........yes, finish with .  Whatever strikes your fancy.  Either way, you'll feel very connected to your spouse.  

Nice, right?

And, put those candles to work.  They really do something magic.
