The next time you roll over to nudge your husband so that he’ll stop snoring or you walk into the bathroom and stumble on the boxers he left on the floor (when the hamper is literally 3 feet away---why do they do that?!), don’t get angry. Just think back to what dating life was like before married life.

Yeah, there were butterflies and excitement when you didn’t know what to expect or (even better) you went out with someone you really liked. But there were also those horrific first dates. The guy who somehow forget his wallet. The guy who flirted with every woman in the restaurant the entire time. The guy who naturally assumed that since he got you dessert, he should get your cookies. The guy who didn’t clean out his car (and it looked and smelled like it). The guy who didn’t show up at all. (Ever Google that guy? What’s he up to? Never mind.)

Is your memory a little foggy? Maybe these absolutely-not-anything-to-write-home-about first dates will job your memory, and even give you a laugh or two. Nothing like talking a brief stroll down memory lane to appreciate what you have---flaws ‘n all. Because when you stop to really think about it, how did your hubby land you anyway? We’re thinking he was a pretty good first, second and third date. Remember that next time he hogs the remote. There’s gotta be some romance still lurking in there somewhere. Somewhere.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
