FOR BETTER OR WORSE â—½ MARRIAGE
Our kids are ages 6 and 9. They’re growing up fast. They’re at an age where they still want to play with us, but we know they’re not going to be this little for long. So when they asked to play hide-and-seek, we said, “Yes!”
The first few rounds I hid by myself, waiting for what felt like ages in cramped and awkward positions until someone finally found me. But finally I got a fun idea. I told my husband we should hide together. So we ran to a big closet and climbed in together.
Maybe it wasn’t exactly romantic, sitting there in a dark closet, crammed behind an old mattress. But it was actually pretty fun.
We held hands and whispered and giggled together as we listened to our kids’ voices while they tried to find us.
It was only a few minutes, but I think I’ll remember that forever.
Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most. The small moments that make you smile and forget about everything else for a little while. Those fun things that add up in your memory like coins in a bank.
Not everything in marriage is big news. It’s not always exciting or adventurous. But it’s a life spent together in the little moments that mean the most to your heart. And that’s something I’ll always be thankful
