Marriage Refreshment

This is a big weekend for my hubby and I.   We will be getting away for a few days and nights, just the two of us - seriously, just the two of us!  This rarely happens, but when it does, we treasure the time together so much.  We do attend a home school conference annually, but we often have a nursing baby with us and aren't completely alone.  But, this weekend, it will be just my hubby and I.   A time to focus on the gift of our marriage.  A time to hold hands and talk - I mean really talk - without any interruptions.  A time to eat a meal without having to get up several times to clean up a spill, refill milk, or change a diaper, not to mention having someone make the meal for me!  A time to rest and soak each other in.  A time to be husband and wife and to focus on the gift of marriage.  I believe one of the best gifts you can give your children is a solid marriage example, and that is what my hubby and I try to do.  We want our children to see and value the gift that marriage is.
