FEBRUARY: 12 DATES for COUPLES in 2022

I am the cook in our family, but my husband is an amazing sous chef.   We have been together for so long now, that he can anticipate what I will need and has all of the ingredients ready as soon as I ask.  As I cut and prep and cook, he cleans up my messes and does the dishes.  On weekends, when we have more time, we will put on some music and sing together while we move about the kitchen.  Between tasks, he is always reaching out to twirl me around the room for a dance.  

A few times a year, we bring out the candelabras, turn off all the lights in the house, and eat dinner by candlelight.  When the kids were young, they enjoyed these special evenings with us.  I always made a much-loved dessert for a happy ending.  After we fed the kids, cleaned up, and put them to bed, we took our dessert to bed with us.  As the kids got older, we reserved these candlelight dinners for times when they were all out doing activities and we could share the mealtime alone.  But we still saved dessert for the bedroom!
