Be careful in how you choose to say things. The manner in which something is said is just as important as what is being said itself.

We must get in the habit of giving our loved ones their flowers while they are still able to smell and enjoy them.

Married and Still Dating

A few months ago I stumbled upon an article online that was titled I'm Dating Someone Even Though I'm Married. Naturally my interest was peaked and I wanted to see what this piece was all about. What was the author going to say? How can someone be married and still date?


I read the article and it was quickly clear to see that the individual the married author spoke of dating was in fact his wife. What a clever title, I thought. It definitely does the job of sparking the reader's interest and drawing them in.


As I read the article I couldn't help but agree with the message that was being conveyed. Just because you are married, doesn't mean that you and your spouse should cease dating. The dating (or courting as some may say) period is a time of growth and learning about one another as the author so eloquently puts it. In my opinion, marriage is just a continuation of courting, a sequel if I may. What was done during the dating period need not stop, but be enhanced. Granted, after your nuptials there may be many factors that can come into play and can cause dating to be difficult (shared bills, work schedules, children, etc.), but it is very important to set aside some "US" time with each other to remind yourselves of why you fell in love and fall in love all over again.


What are your thoughts?

Respect is something earned and/or demanded, but there is no tenure attached to it. Meaning, the same thing(s) an individual did to gain respect must be continued in order to retain it.
