Only Wanna Be With You

Today Karen and I are flying out to Miami, Florida and tomorrow we'll be going on our first cruise ever!  This song was selected (over many that involve airplanes) because it represents my excitement in being able to spend the next 6 days (today included) with JUST MY WIFE !!!  =)

Only Wanna Be With You
... by Hootie and the Blowfish

It is never easy in a marriage (or any relationship) to find time to just be alone together.  Life moves on and "other things" naturally become a bigger priority (kids, work, extended family, church, etc.), if only for specific events that MUST be attended to.  To paraphrase a line from the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" ... Life moves pretty fast.  If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.  This certainly applies to a marriage, especially that one-on-one relationship with your spouse.  So many couples break up after the kids move away or the breadwinner(s) retire.  That's often because the couple didn't invest enough time in their relationship during the marriage and now these two people have to "fall in love" all over again.  Little pockets of one-on-one time (or huge chunks like this vacation) can keep that from happening ... or at least that's what we're striving for!  =)
