"Hello my little pumpkins, would you like to go see Grandma tomorrow?"
"Yesssss daddy!"
That was Mr. James communicating with his 6 years old son and 4 years old daughter. They responded loudly and in unism to his question.
Most kids love to have their holidays at grandma's, little did they know that most times it's an indirect way of sending them away for a while so that couples can some moments to themselves.
With all smiles, Mr. James ran upstairs to inform his wife that the kids will be going on holiday at grandma's house. Lilian loved the news but became a bit worried.
Lilian: Honey, won't it be nice if I stay with them there?
Mr. James: Babe, we have both been busy and hardly have time for ourselves. I just want to spend some time with you alone. Mama's house is just a stone throw and we can always go there and see them if we must.
Lilian: ok, let me prepare them and have their bags ready.
It was as if Mr. James won a lottery, he was very excited. Shortly, the kids are now ready and eager to leave the house, he took his car key, put his wife and kids in the car and drove off. He also stopped at 'Tasty Fried Chicken' to get everyone some ice cream and meat pie
It was an hour and 30 minutes drive. Finally, they arrived and right there was grandma, eagerly waiting. The minute she saw their car, she stood up and stretched her arms forward, walking towards them and ready to hug them tight.
A few minutes after, they said their goodbyes, husband and wife went back into the car and drove off. Mr. James was all joy when they got home.
Now the kids are gone, doors locked, no visitors expected, just a man and his woman enjoying their moment. Great sex, lots of movie dates and couple outings. It was as if they newly got married. He proceeded to go shopping with his wife and that was it.
Marriage can be draining sometimes but if you map out ways to keep each other glued, give it the spark it needs, you will definitely feel a relief.
Create time by all means necessary and do all you can to be happy because one day, the kids will grow, leave the house and you will be left with your partner again. There was both of before the kids and will still remain both of you when they leave. The memories you create now is what will carry you both along till déæth comes.
IRE O!
