My hubby and I decided that we need a “We” time in order to reconnect our love to each other. We’ve been so busy for the past two year or so with our little one that we forgot about our relationship. Our typical nights after our son goes to bed revolves around me spending the rest of the night in my den blogging or watching my favorite reality tv, and my hubby spending the rest of his time in the basement. We’re so addicted to the “me” time that we’re one step away of becoming a stranger to one another.
Having said that, we decided each week we would spend at least one hour together without tv and computer. We came up with playing board game. Actually I’m not quite a gamer, but since we couldn’t come up with any common interests, board game is the only thing I’m willing to give a shot. So there we were, playing scrabble together. Surprisingly, we had so much fun together. We started cracking jokes, telling stories, things that we haven’t done in a while. At first we would finish the game once the score reached to 200 points. We had so much fun we continued until there were no more letters left.
We haven’t quite made our commitment of spending one hour each week yet, but at least we’re trying and we’re getting there. We just bought Wii game and that will be our next venue to spend time together. It’s very important for all couples to spend time together without any interruption. It doesn’t have to cost you anything, look around your house and find something you can do together.
