No Husband Left Behind
HIM & HER — Together (on the Same Page)
[Challenge]
Snuggling Under the Stars
When was the last time you and your main squeeze enjoyed the night sky together? Have you ever spent one “date” just enjoying that incredibly large artistic canvas above your heads?
Perhaps you both could use a “local” romantic getaway (maybe as close as your backyard). Enjoying the great outdoors can be exciting. Hopefully you are in a place where you can view the night sky, or even travel to a nearby location which could accommodate…
Beforehand:
Maybe it would be worth the time to do some basic “research” preparation. Consider reviewing the constellations beforehand (acquire book or online tool). Another very interesting thing to evaluate is what other planets or meteor showers may be visible during your “outdoor” adventure.
Before your selected area becomes too dark to see, consider setting up your sleeping bags, lawn or lounge chairs, blanket, or whatever you have on hand. Our goal is to be somewhat comfortable, especially if you two “love birds” decide to snuggle for a while.
During:
Snacks can be enjoyed during this even, but be mindful to select food and beverage which can be consumed (without posing a choking hazard). If you decide to lay flat on the ground, maybe wait until you sit upright before grabbing for the munchies. Remember, it is perfectly fine to get a little messy with snacks (if something falls to the ground) … you can always clean up later.
This challenge can be enjoyed with more or less chatter, it is truly up to the two “snuggling” partners. You are welcome to talk and share if you both prefer, or quiet-time for relaxation and hand holding.
After:
Once finished with your time together “under the stars”, let us not forget to do a quick clean-up. Mainly picking up and storing the items which have provided you with at least a somewhat “comfortable” experience.
To wrap up your exciting time together, take a moment for both of you to share what you enjoyed most about this event. Consider whether you have a greater appreciation of our God and Creator now that you have recently invested a little extra “quality” time viewing His masterpiece. Perhaps this challenge will be worth repeating every so often.
From one who forever remains…
