Couple-Time

Couple-Time, time with my hubby, definitely brings me Joy.

It is sometimes hard to find the time for Couple-Time.  Often after a day of working, or even now I am on holidays, I find my time consumed with my children.  And then once they are finally in bed, I am exhausted, I am spent, there is not much left.  And all that is left, are the minutes and hours I want to spend in the quiet – the time I wish for my own time, my me-time.

The definition of Couple-Time is “time when couples relax and snuggle”.  I am sure my hubby would enjoy more time to “snuggle”.  I do like the Couple-Time moments when we embrace in a hug or a kiss in the kitchen. 

I really like when we get to sit down together at our dining table and enjoy afternoon tea or a cuppa or dinner together - I like time, Couple-Time to chat and connect with each other.

It is such a treat when we can enjoy dinner out as Couple-Time, when are children are being looked after by their grandmother.  We are always full of appreciation for my Mother-In-Law for these opportunities where we can get dressed up, go out for dinner, enjoy a glass of wine and just enjoy each other’s company.  “Date night” is what us married couples call it - just like the times when we were dating, before marriage, before children, before when it was just ‘us’.

Sometimes now it is easy to just let each other do our individual own thing, to just do our own hobbies and have quiet time.  And it is great that we can co-exist in this space where my hubby is doing his hobby and I am writing or making a Photobook while watching a movie - in this space we are both happy and happy that the other person is happy in their own space too.  Yet finding time for Couple-Time is really important as being together definitely fills my heart with Joy.

Making Couple-Time a priority is definitely a priority for me, as I want us to keep connecting and to feel connected and to feel close and to be in a Joy-Filled relationship.
