Love Notes From Adriane

Do you know your love language? I’ve come across various discussions about individuals and couples discovering their love languages to enhance their relationships. While I’ve always believed in its importance, it wasn’t until this past weekend that I truly understood the significance of quality time, especially alone time with your partner.

Despite having weekly date nights and a couple of vacations alone each year, my husband and I realized that amidst our busy schedules and focus on goals this year, we hadn’t had much extended alone time in 2024.

However, this past weekend presented us with a rare opportunity when my mother-in-law kindly took care of our son overnight. It allowed us to enjoy uninterrupted time together—laughing, staying up late, sleeping in (if you can call 7:30 a.m. sleeping in), watching movies, and indulging in delicious food.

Let me clarify, we absolutely adore our son. Our love for him is unwavering. Yet, what makes parenting easier is the strong connection my husband and I share. We’re in sync with our parenting approach because we prioritize nurturing our love.

Moving forward, I’ve made it my mission for my husband and I to have 24 hours alone together at least once a month. It’s a commitment to nurture our bond and keep our relationship thriving.
