Super Date Night: Not the Usual Yada, Yada, Yada
This is a guest post from Brad Allen of BradWAllen.com. He previously wrote a touching and very important post called Life Is Too Short.
On the Engaged Marriage Facebook page, Dustin will frequently ask what couples are planning to do over the weekend. I’m sure one of the reasons is because he’s interested in seeing what active couples do for fun on their time off together that will aid in the health of their marriage.
He also writes often on Engaged Marriage about how important it is to take time as a married couple to focus on just that: being a couple.
I’m not going to lie, my wife and I have 2 kids, with a 3rd on the way, and it’s hard as hell to find the time to really give each other the attention we both need.
It’s kind of the whole premise behind Engaged Marriage, the Marriage Time Newsletter and Dustin’s 7 step guide – Marriage Mojo…ways to find that very important time together.
I read Dustin’s questions on Facebook but rarely answer those questions because we typically don’t have much going on besides “the usual,” but this weekend is different. We do actually have plans that fit with the driving theme of Engaged Marriage, and I’m prepared to answer his question.
Buying Better Gifts for Your Partner
Note: This is a guest post by Sarah Simpson.
When shopping for that perfect gift for your partner, you want to make sure it is something that they want or need, not just something that you want them to have. Gifts should be personalized. For example, for a hunter, buy hunting gear. For someone who loves fashion, buy some shoes or accessories.
Even in the event of a wife buying for a husband, listen to your partner, they will tell you what to buy. In many cases, you may know what to buy but not know where to buy it or exactly what to get.
This is when you should find someone who does know about the item and get advice from them. With many gifts, you can find others who know about what you need and let them point you in the right direction.
Figuring Out the Best Gift
When shopping for your partner, always remember that what you consider memorable may not be considered memorable by them. For example, if you are a wife searching for that perfect gift for your husband who is a hunter, you can probably recall him pointing out something in a store or on a website that he would really like to have.
Engaged Technology: How To Use Your iPad To Create Closeness
This guest post by Shane Ketterman is a lot of fun, and I think you’ll take away some great ways to use technology to enhance the romance in your marriage!
Warning: This post will help you create amazing memories with your spouse and bring you closer. It also assumes you have a Mac and an iPad.
Technology has pretty much infiltrated our daily lives. We use it at work. We use it for entertainment. We also use it for education. There are some really great ways it has brought people together, but it also has another side: It can drive a wedge between couples.
Technology has certainly evolved over the past few years. We have smart phones, social networking, and innovations like the iPad. All of these great things could also be considered distractions. I can’t count how many times I hear couples say, “I wish we could go back to when things were more simple.” And they say this because they have been slightly driven apart by all the distractions of technology.
But here is a way to turn that around. Here is a way to get closer using technology. Here is a way you can take the latest and greatest mobile device (the iPad) and share something extremely special with you spouse.
The Little Things: Happy Marriages Happen in Moments
Editor’s Note: I love this guest post from Amber! I hope you get as many smiles as I did from reading it. Share your own favorite Little Things in the comments.
When Engaged Marriage invited me to share one of my wedded bliss moments as a guest blogger, I began racking my brain for the perfect story to share.
I wanted something romantic, something that would make you all ooh and ahh, something that would help us all remember why marriage is so incredibly worth it. So, I started thinking of all the out-of-the-ordinary, big moments of romance in my 2 ½ year marriage.
I thought of the designer purse my husband surprised me with when he returned from his last business trip, and how I could write about all the time he’d spent in the shop consulting the sales associates about what pattern would be just right.
I thought about this past January, when I stumbled out of bed hours after my husband had left for work one day to find a deliciously scented bubble bath tied with a bow waiting on the counter and a note saying, “Today is National Bubble Bath Day. Relax and enjoy!” (Who knew such a perfect holiday even existed?!).
