Our kids are seeing us put our marriage first.
When we had our daughter 10 years ago, one of the things we promised each other was that we would try to find a way to make time for just us. In our dating years and early marriage, we watched as my in-laws increasingly took mini-vacations now that their kids were out of the house, and then I thought back to the years growing up and never seeing my parents go on trips without us.
While my loving husband saw that it wouldn’t be easy to convince me that we could do it, he also wouldn’t take “no” for an answer.
I’ve always loved these trips with my husband. For those who don’t frequently travel without kids, there are sure to be expectations when we leave the kids at home. And sure, sex without fear of interruption is definitely a part of the “no-kids” vacation, but it ismuch more than that. We have fun, we get to be best friends, and we get to remind each other why we fell in love in the first place.
This past spring, as I made plans for our summer vacation and waited to see how much time and money we would have left to have our own vacation, all the while struggling to find a location for just the two of us that we could both agree on, I finally had an epiphany: We were still allowed to have our own new experiences that didn’t involve our kids.I had been so focused on where I wanted to go as a family, I had stopped considering all the things that I wanted to do with Jeff.
