You HAVE TO Have Date Night
I’m so tired of people who tell new parents that they HAVE to leave their kid with a sitter once a week and do a date night with their spouse or their marriage will suffer.
My husband and I have been parents for almost 8 years and maybe go out alone twice a year (for a birthday or anniversary usually). We aren’t headed for Divorce Court. In fact, our marriage is stronger than ever. We chose to be close to our kids, and that means they are attached to us (well, mostly to me). We couldn’t relax knowing they were crying with a sitter.
Leave me alone and worry about your own marriage.
