Last night me and Billy had a movie night at the house. It’s a tradition when the kids go to sleep that we spend time with each other either playing board games, talking, Bible Study, or even Movie Nights. We decided on Escape Plan!! Such a great movie, it really had my mind going. Scary thought that their are people who could possibly be that smart savvy to figure out how to break out of every prison built by man. It was definitely interesting and I do recommend it for a date night for couples! Not recommended for kids though! Hope everyone is having a great day. Here is the trailer below!

A Divided Family
Truly I find it amazing the impact of a superhero’s leadership has on a small child. Kids these days really love their superheros. In a way I think adults are having the same child-like mindset as our children when it comes to the Superhero persona.
*Spoilers** AHEAD* YOU ARE WARNED, IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MARVEL MOVIE: INFINITY STONES, THEN STOP READING NOW!
So if you have made it this far then you are about to be blown away by a sad reality that kids were heartbroken over the deaths of so many beloved superheros like Black Panther, Spider-man, Scarlet Witch, Gamora, the Winter Soldier, and so many more. My kids watched in horror as they faded away as Thanos snapped his fingers. Yep, such a tragedy. Luckily there a major rumors that this is not the end for most of our beloved Marvel characters. Just like with Superman when he was killed in Batman Vs. Superman, he was brought back to life.
In our family apparently there has been a lot of heartbreak. We are a divided family here. Half of us are DC fans and well the others…are of course Marvel fanatics. Watching these characters go through their ups and downs in their own universe has been a touching especially with how we have grown attached to our favorites. I am personally excited to watch how far they will go with both the DC and Marvel Universes.
If you haven’t watched any of the superhero movies I completely recommend all of them. Give them a try. They make great family night movies especially when you got kids! They really get into it and it truly brings out your inner superhero.
Date Night with the Spouse
The other night I posted a blog relating to spending time with your little ones by having a movie night! Well now I am going to touch base on making time for your spouse. It is important to focus on your spouse even when you have kids. Trust me I know it can be difficult especially if you aren’t used to multi-tasking and don’t have any time management skills. What I do is normally send the kids to bed at their normal bedtime which is between 8-8:30. Once they are in bed me and my husband talk about movie options, we make sure we have snacks available to enjoy as we watch the movie also. Normally we pick a movie we both like but there are times we also take turns of who gets to pick the movie next.
This is a great way to bond with your spouse. I call it our date night and it works, at least for us. Sometimes we will even play board games, write together, even just sit down and talk and eat together. It is important to make time with your spouse and the evenings are a great chance to do that. For our schedule it definitely works but I understand that everyone is different and may have unusual work schedules.
It is healthy in a marriage to make sure you are connecting with your spouse. I am sad to say I have witnessed so many divorces over the last eleven years that me and my husband have been married. Most of them only lasting between two to four years. It has been a mission that I have been trying to pursue since I have noticed the drastic incline of divorce rates since we got married. Another factor I would encourage to help with growing a healthy marriage is communication. Make sure you and your spouse are talking to each other, it helps build a much stronger bond between the two of you and you start to understand your partner much better than before. Hope these little tid-bits help.
