A thought from Robert

I obviously don’t feel the same way as my wife regarding infertility because I’m never going to be the one that could or could not become pregnant (thank goodness ). At the same time, I can probably say that most males want to be a father someday as well, of which I am definitely one of them. The thought of being able to have my own son or daughter to take care of and call my own is something that I strive for, so yes there is some anxiousness of me also wanting my wife to become pregnant someday.

On the other hand, we’ve been very blessed in our lives to be able to be there for family members and friends, in instances that may not have happened had we had children at the time. Therefore, although it is always a dream for my wife and I to have children and a large family, as long as we continue to try to be instruments in the Lord’s hands and fulfill His will, what’s supposed to happen will happen.

My Favorite

I too love our date nights! Like Robert said, it really is our time to talk and get to spend time together. It is the time that we take out of our busy lives to just focus on each other.

My favorite dates are the ones that are a bit more spontaneous and not planned out. One of my favorite dates was we decided to just go shoot some hoops. We ended up shooting around, playing a little one on one, flirted, and we also had a really good chance to talk about what was going on in our lives. We really like sports and it was a time where we could do something we enjoyed but there wasn’t any pressure to be anywhere or have things planned.

I think one of the things that I like best about date time is that I get to spend time to get to know my husband. Something that makes me really sad is when I hear about a couple getting divorced because they feel like they changed and grew apart. Dating is a simple way to help couples continue to get to know each other as they do change. We are human and we are in a constant state of change. As we learn, we grow, and we define who we are. We do however; have to make sure that we grow together instead of apart.

I am so grateful for my husband and I look forward to growing old with him.
