festivals in Florida, so pick one and
attend. We have an ice-skating rink and
beautiful preserves. Invite your neighbors
over for a barbecue. Choose a movie
to watch after the kids go to bed. Go
bowling or go to a new ethnic restaurant
for fun. Just hanging at the bookstore
and drinking coffee together is fun, and
free entertainment. Walk our local Village
of the Arts or go down Pine Avenue on
AMI. Snacking on donuts or ice-cream or
tacos is great fun. Community parks are
relaxing. Look up Manatee County Parks.
There are some on the water.
Never stop enjoying
each other…
By making dating once or twice a week
a priority, you will make communication
a priority. Set aside two- hour dates.
Remember to not talk about problems,
frustrations, or your children during these
two-hour having fun together meetings.
I love that you asked this question and
hope you will take the time to invest in
your future. Being a strong couple is
such a wonderful strategy for raising
happy children.
