Blast to the Past

I love this date because it can be as fancy or as cheap as you would like.  The 3rd of this month marked 5 years since I returned home from a mission trip for my church.  A huge part of this was the fact that I worked with the Latino culture.  I fell in love with the people, the language, and especially the food!

Do you know how hard it is to find authentic Mexican food?  I feel like the only place to get the good stuff is from the kitchen of someone who is from Mexico or whose mentor was from there.  However, I did find a local restaurant called El Tequila in the town over that has great Mexican food.  In honor of this anniversary, I took my husband to eat there with the purpose of talking about this trip and the impact that it made on my life.  Not only did we have great conversation, but we had food that was excelente!

Relationship reconnection:  Take this time to ask your spouse different questions that really dig deep into this experience.  Ask questions like "What specifically made the biggest difference in your life?" or "What was a funny experience that you remember?"  Something thought provoking that will show your spouse that you are interested.  It shows that you love them and gives you an opportunity to practice listening skills.  Besides people love being asked questions.

Happy dating!
