My
wife and I stumbled on a revolutionary new concept the other day. Due to the time pressures of work,
chauffeuring kids, and doing chores…we were finding that getting together—just the two of us—was becoming
more difficult than standing on my nose while writing a blog during a Category Five hurricane.
Then, a miracle happened!
One
day when we realized that we were both free to drive our daughter to flute
choir, we decided to have a micro date. So after dropping our little piper off, we
peeled out high-fiving over our precious freedom. We treasured our 40 minutes together browsing
at the bookstore. Love bloomed in the
best-sellers section.
Love finds a way
But we didn't stop there. Just
the other day, we found 17 minutes and 29 seconds to “take a turn of our estate”
(translation: meander through our one-fifth of an acre yard). We smelled the flowers, watched the bees, picked
some tomatoes, and kissed under the maple. And then I sang a verse of “Precious
and few are the moments we two can share.”
Now you can mirco date, too!
Are
you having trouble finding time to date your spouse? Try micro dating, and make every spare minute
count. All you need is love.
OMG -- don't get me started on the chauffeuring...! The micro-dating concept sounds good, though. Will try it out and get back to you. (Or at you...)
