I requested today off and arranged for my mom to watch our kiddos. Hillary and I will get to spend the entire day together. We have been looking forward to this for a long time. As much as we love our kiddos, one day they will grow up and move away (God willing). We've often discussed how our marriage cannot and must not center around our kids. We've heard story after story about how husbands and wives make the center of everything their kids, then when their kids leave home, they are left with a shallow relationship that ends in divorce.
My encouragement to you today is to spend some time with each other. Make sure you guys have your priorities in the right order; God, each other, then kids...I don't know everything nor do I claim to, but I do know that at age 47 we will be left with an empty house staring at each other wondering where the time went...I pray that we will have more to talk about then just our crazy kids.
