Twenty years. That's a long time, right? Well, on February 7th, it was our 20th "date-iversary." Maybe not everyone knows the day of their first date, but I do. You see, it almost didn't happen. It had been spontaneously scheduled the semester before, right after my now-husband broke up with another girl. But we didn't know each other that well then. When we came back after Christmas, we started hanging out more. And by the time February rolled around, we'd decided maybe this date meant something after all. Then, his car broke down. Needless to say, I was beginning to think our date wasn't going to happen. But I was determined. So, I rounded up a couple of friends--four to be exact--and convinced them all we should go as a group to Pizza Hut and a movie. And it worked out, although one of the girls got stuck with us instead of the others when one of the movies sold out. None of them knew we'd actually decided to be a couple instead of just friends.
In the last twenty years, we've been on more dates, too, although some years that happened more than others. Last year, our goal was one a month, but COVID sort of got in the way. And we're not off to a start to accomplish it again this year, since we missed January. All that being said, though, even after all this time, I love to go on dates with this man. We always have lots to talk about, can always make each other laugh and smile, and it doesn't even really matter what we do. As long as we're together. This year, we went couch shopping. Doesn't that sound romantic? Do you know your date-iversary? Do you try to date your spouse? I'd love to hear ideas you've done to keep the romance alive in your relationship.
