Marital stress

Y’all, I have a confession. 90% of our fights as a married couple stem from arguing about where we want to go out to eat. A friend posted this E-card, and it really spoke to my soul.

When we were in Augusta, I made a date book for us to try new restaurants since we were only there six months. Jen shared her date idea jar for her husband, and I decided to make Mac a variation for Christmas. Because I have class on Saturday mornings and it’s football season, we haven’t been on too many proper dates in the past few months. So I’m making a date night jar and a new restaurant jar. Hopefully (with the end of college football approaching), we will make more of an effort to leave the house on Saturdays. I thought about being super creative and color coordinating based on cost or location, but I couldn’t decide on a good way to do it. You can also make any number of sticks. You then write a date idea (movie, mini golf, bowling, etc.) or the name of the restaurant on a Popsicle stick.

How do y’all try new date ideas?
