I would always tell my husband I love him in front of the kids and give him hugs. I love reading your blog Robyn....Your Grandma's sis, Barbara
We make it a point to keep our date nights, and while Halle doesn't understand it now, I know that when she gets a little older, she'll get it that we love to spend time together. We also try really hard to affirm eachother infront of her. She gets that!
We have always made sure to take "couple time." Our kids are young adults now, but since they were small they knew our daily afternoon "coffee talks" were important to us. We don't talk business during our coffee break, we simply converse about what's going on in each of our lives.
We have put aside a few personal dreams because to pursue them would have cost the kids too much. We figured our job at the time was to engage in the Biblical mandate to teach the kids a la Deuteronomy 6:4-13. If we are too busy doing "our own thing" we are shirking our God-given duty to our kids.
We show affection often...hugs and affirming words. We put our relationship above all outside commitments as much as is reasonably possible given that at least one of us has to be away from the home 50 hours a week.
We've allowed them to know that we do not always agree with each other but we are committed before God to care for each other as long as we live.
I've long believed that a committed marriage relationship is the best gift we can give our kids.
Oh, right after Thanksgiving I read the most wonderful post on the subject at one of my favorite blogs. How grievous is the harm we do to children with disposable relationships.
