Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.
Check out my Work It, Mom! profile and my blog, Dutch Blitz.
I came across a Cosmopolitan article via msn.com that was titled, “The Secret Happy Couples Know.” The article gives a bunch of fun ideas for a couple to do together to keep their relationship fun and full of life.
I was excited to see this, because as I mentioned before, we can get a little bit boring on our date nights.
As I read through the list I thought that “becoming margarita connoisseurs” would be a lot of fun. We have spent time trolling through You Tube and laughing our heads off. We also spent part of our date last weekend in Value Village. Matthew found a t-shirt with the logo “Frick N’ Eh Beer” which he purchased (and then wore to Bible Study. Yes. Yes, he did.)
There are a few other suggestions in that article that I think we need to try out.
How about you? Any ideas to bring back the punch-drunk love?

I SO need that article. Living paycheck-to-paycheck and spending ALL our money on necessities (BORING) doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for “fun money”. (STUPID UNIVERSITY!) Thankfully, most of those ideas are pretty cheap!
I love these posts.

When Shawn I first started dating, I’d go over to his place and we’d drink a bottle of wine and cook a meal together. It was fun and silly and I loved it. Then we started living together and I found out that he hates cooking. Like HATE hates it. He would eat cereal and kraft dinner every day if I didn’t cook. So now, when we need an inexpensive date night and he is feeling sweet, we drink our faces off and make dinner together. We have fun and it makes cooking not as much of a chore (and I’m secretly hoping that he will discover a love of cooking. One day.)
