Marriage-"My Perma-Date"

Why is it that we put so much emphasis on the wedding and so little on the marriage? I spent the last six months anxious, excited, and ready for the day we would be married. But now that we are, it can get a little hum-drum! So, I told my sweet hubby that we needed to start "date nights"! Every week we set aside a certain night to do something fun and special with each other. He thinks I get all my ideas from watching Dr. Phil and that I am constantly safe guarding our marriage, but what is wrong with that? I am! I don't think people's marriages fall apart over night. I think there are many little things that become more important that build up over time and cause you to grow apart. So, I figure if I am constantly reminding him in little ways how lucky he is to be married to me, he will eventually believe it-lol! I want to be the couple when they are ninety that still makes the other "light up"! So, to my ever-wonderful girlfriends who ask me to do things and I decline, please know that I am ensuring that we are not a statistic and still dating my hubby!:-)
