I hope you had an amazing yuntif season and I hope you aren't crying into your loads of laundry. 🙂

Hot tip for getting back in the groove if things went wonky a little between you and your husband: you might need some space, and that's ok.

During the holidays we spend a LOT of time together, and while most of us at some point thought more time = more love, that paradigm is a big ol' lie. Especially if you are either introverted or just totally socialized-out (or even very tired!!), you may need some time alone OR time with someone OTHER than your husband, and that's perfectly ok.

One of my favorite marriage tools is to go on dates--with someone else (I'm talking about a friend, silly, calm down!). When you get your social needs met, you can turn to your husband for what only he can provide.

So go enjoy your date or your quiet room, even if you can only carve out half an hour. You're amazing and you totally deserve it.
