Losing the Spark

Guest post written by my buddy Fidel Hernandez

My husband and I used to go out all the time, but lately we are staying home and watching Dish Television more and more often. I miss the days when we would go to dinner with friends, and even dancing sometimes. I know that life isn’t always about going out and having fun, but I feel like we’re losing our spark.We used to be so fun and carefree, and I feel like we’re becoming old people way too quickly. I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on him to spend money and take me out, but I don’t want to get so bored that I’m unhappy in our marriage. It’s expensive to hire a babysitter, but I think we would be able to afford it at least once a week. It’s important to spend time alone together so that we don’t lose our connection. I’m going to bring it up to him tonight to see what he thinks, and I hope he takes it well. Who knows? Maybe he is even feeling the same way but he doesn’t want to hurt my feelings.
