Thus, a very short post today.
One of the coolest thing I think about us being intentional about life, with the overarching goal to write daily, has been seeing how it can challenge us. We are entering our 9th year of marriage. There are lots of things we know we should do for a great marriage. As we grow and mature together, we have learned a lot. One thing we are really not very good at, is the little things.
Sure, we can both make gallant efforts in impressing and forgiving each other. We can dream big, and talk big. But, honestly it is often in the little things that life is made or broken.
All this to say, we are thinking of little things we want to do different in our 9th year of marriage. So far our biggest "little" thing has been that we aren't going to eat on the couch.
We usually do post-bedtime-dinner-dates while playing a game or watching a movie. The other day though, we took the time to eat and talk before anything else. It turned a nice little time together into a far more productive, if one can call a couple relaxing together that, evening.
By deciding we are not eating on the couch, we can be more intentional about when we eat (and how much we appreciate what we are eating) and also get far more out of our post-bedtime-dates.
It's a little thing, but so far it has had a big impact.
There are a few other things I want to be more intentional about (some bigger, some small like this one) but so far that is the one we have started.
