While we were in Maine Mark and I got to hide from our children for just a day. It doesn't sound like a long time but it was so lovely and peaceful. My mom arranged for a night away at her friend's home nearby. She must have known how much we needed it. We are NEVER without all three of our children. It was so great to just have lots of uninterrupted conversations with my guy. I like him. I like him a lot. And it was a great reminder of how important my marriage is to me. Marrying Mark was one of the best blessings that God has given to me in my lifetime. I know Mark's on loan to me from God. And I'm so grateful for every day He has given us together on this earth.
The home we stayed in was lovely and overlooked a foggy bay. We spent a lazy morning drinking our favorite hot beverages and tried not to spend all of our time talking about the kids. And that's not easy to do. Sometimes it feels like it's ALL about the kids. But it shouldn't be. This marriage started with us. And sometimes you just need to check out and focus on the "us" part.
Our retreat was peaceful and relaxing.
When there is beauty all around...that's pretty easy to achieve.

I agree, I think it's important to remember how you got started, before kids!
