We had just spent 2 full days in our bedroom talking & weeping
Our marriage would never be the same, but the plan was now to make it better
The next few months were filled with a lot more tears, long conversations, and a ton of research on how to rebuild trust, forgive, and hopefully fall back in love
The first step we took, after deciding to fight for our marriage, was to re-date one another
After 15 years of marriage, we had become two different people from when we first met.
Three kids and an overwhelming number of extra activities made communication and quality time low in our priorities, but this time things were going to change.
I remember our first time out:
Still puffy-eyed, we decided to get ourselves out of the house and go for coffee
We headed to a nearby Starbucks
When trying to pay, their debit machine broke down so our coffees were complimentary
This made us smile
By the time we sat down, I was crying again
My husband offered to take us home but I wanted to move forward so I felt we should stay.
We discussed our vision of what we wanted our future to look like with each other, how we wanted to raise our kids, and we set to keep us moving forward
This united us and gave us a clear picture of what we were going to fight for.
I’m so glad we stayed.
If your relationship has gone through a tough situation, it’s time to reconnect!
Don’t let resentment, shame, or pain keep you apart. Plan a date today.
