Too often in the midst of the child-rearing years, we get so caught up with parenting that we forget to be intentional about spending quality, one-on-one time with our spouses. Whether the excuse is “we can’t afford a babysitter” or “we never have time,” we need to find ways to overcome the excuses and be sure to prioritize our most important relationship – the one that is meant to last beyond the parenting years.

Being in the midst of the parenting years myself (a mother of FOUR ages 0-10), I know all too well the struggle to prioritize spending time with my husband, so I’m always on the lookout for perfect date ideas for busy parents that are simple yet creative.
