Many couples lose that feeling once they're married... but you don't have to.
First Things First (FTF) is an award-winning non-profit organization (located in Chattanoga, Tennessee) that is reminding families of what's really important. They are on a mission to strengthen families from the inside out.
FTF is a resource that works with community organizations, groups and individuals.
This is interesting:
- 70% of divorces are due to couples feeling disconnected. Only 30% are due to infidelity, addiction or abuse.
- Couples who make time specifically for one another (at least once a week) are more likely to enjoy high-quality relationships and lower divorce rates.
In order to have a happy + healthy marriage you have to make spending time together a priority.

I liked this video. It's so important to go out with your spouse and continue to "date". It's easy to get wrapped up in your busy lives and forget what is most important.

My husband and I like to have a date night! Every week on Saturday we try to always make time, whether it is to go to Starbucks or something more elaborate like a nice date at a restaurant. We like to enjoy our lives together! I look forward to it every week! cherylslife67(at)charter(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI love it, i think every couple needs to date their mate. Even if you just go out together for a short work or something. Communication is very important to help the relationship survive. kt3us@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThe video is very informative. I think that communication is the best way to keep a relationship strong. Set aside time to talk about your day or anything out of the blue so you'll get to know each other more and more everyday. :)

The video is an eye opener. The everyday rush of life makes you forget about the one next to you. I think sometimes I was so involved with doing thing for the kids and around the house that we hardly had time for each other. Dating my husband again is a great idea. thanks

I think the video is a big reminder that you need to take time to connect with the ones you love. It can be done in simple ways.
