But there are times when I consider if there are ways I could kill them without going to jail. I’m just too cute for jail. I’m not saying that I really want to kill them, but I’m just tired. I’m tired of being a support and a helper, and… well, did I mention I’m tired?

Sometimes marriage can be SO rough. This has been an especially rough time for our family and I’m really proud of the fact that we’re sticking with things and haven’t lost our minds yet. At least not entirely.

So, to start this month of love out, I’d love to share 5 Way to Not Kill Your Husband. You’ll have to email me to find out the ways TO kill them. I’m a nurse. We have our ways. {evil witch laugh}

Get away from them.

I’m not talking about a legal separation here. I’m talking about a day with the girls, an evening with the girls even just something you do ALONE. My husband and I are both home full time right now. It’s kind of ridiculous. I went from NEVER seeing him to being able to call his name at any time. Let’s just say it’s taken some getting used to (and we even have an office with a door he can go to). I have a great post on how to plan a girls trip that you might find interesting (it was overwhelming to plan, but SO worth it!). Or, do a getaway with them! That always helps! Looking for the best hotel at the best price — don’t forget Trip Advisor! Pick a city you want to visit and see if there’s any awesome deals RIGHT NOW.

Make a list of things you love.

There are days you might have to reach pretty deep to find these things. Being married doesn’t mean that you love everything about this person. It means you try to. So, start making the list. My husband is the calm to my storm. I always try to remember that. Maybe get a cute notebook — like this one — that you could start to fill with all those loving thoughts.

Put on headphones.

This is my new one. Sometimes I just bang out to some music to forget about my life, my husband and my kids. I have a few select songs I love REALLY loud, and somehow this takes some of my negative energy and processes it for me in minutes. I love a good Bluetooth pair.

Set up date nights.

We have NOT been good at date nights lately. Probably because we are both home all the time. BUT, that doesn’t mean we don’t need a little chips and salsa every now and then.

Fresh out of ideas? Check out this info from Dating Divas! I think it’s so smart to give yourself some new ideas/new situations of fun every now and then.

See other people.

I’m not talking about THAT kind of seeing other people. I’m talking about going out with friends and seeing your husband in a relaxed social situation vs your tense home life. It can help you see them in the way you saw them when you were dating. {twooo-wove}

I remember when we were first married. I went to a church that was all newlyweds. Everyone loved their husband SO much. They talked about how perfect they, and their love was. I figured I was married to a monster, until I just started asking a few friends if their marriage was that perfect. I mainly got a lot of eye rolls…. The reality is that marriage can be really tough.
