Amen! I totally agree with the not fighting until the kids come. That’s how it was for Squire and I also. We’re working through it, but everything is more of a test of patience when it used to be so much more simple. But you’re right too – about children being a blessing. We can’t imagine life without our little Lincoln!

The 5 Love Languages book is a winner for sure. It is always important to keep trying to give our spouse what they need/like the most – even if it’s not our usual way of showing love.

Thanks for sharing the link(s) to my site/post! – and for being my first blog comment! 🙂 You and Josh seem to have a really nice relationship. Keep it up. 🙂

Just a thought, I remember when you and Josh were engaged back in band camp, and you kept saying how great a guy he was and how much you loved him (despite how much Jared teased you about it). I liked that. You were a great example to me. And yes, you are still that much plus more in love!

Aww, Katelyn, after reading this I just want to give you a hug! I love that you’re so in love and are working hard to keep it that way even when times are hard. I also have The Five Love Languages, although I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. Can’t wait to hear about your dates!

Thanks Leanne! I can’t wait to go on the dates! I wish you and Wade all the best!!

And Carrie – We plan on setting up the date swap soon. 🙂

Very cool post. I must say, I’m extremely impressed that you guys didn’t really fight before kids! Most couples we’ve ever talked with are the same as us: the first year was the HARDEST! We were fighting ALL THE TIME. Things have gotten much better SINCE kids (probably not ‘because of’ the kids, but more likely because of adjusting to one another over time). 🙂 It’s DEFINITELY true that you need to work hard to make dates happen. You’ve GOTTA make them happen. Set up that date swap, asap! 🙂 You and your friends will both benefit greatly.
