yeah, we do run errands together as thats the only time we get for each other.. so we'll do the groceries or something.. even go fill up the car together..
the breakfast or weekend lunch idea sounds really good.
I guess once Ramadan is over, things will sort of settle back into routine and then we can plan things... we used to spend one day on the weekend going to the pools.. it was just family time.. the three of us. Which is LOVELY
I am going through this these days but thats cuz of Ramadan and changed routines so that hubby goes very early to sleep. We hardly get the chance to talk to each other these days.
Normally we give each other most of our time after work which I am missing these days.
i think after a while you have to step back and realize where is your life going..
are you both really that busy or are we just not trying that one extra bit that takes it from "i am too busy" to "i have time to have a chat with you" state..
don't get me wrong.. i know life these days is hectic, managing a family isn't easy, savings aren't that easy to come and we need to work twice as hard to earn that. but at the end, if we are doing all that for "family" without family time, then what's the use?
The hardest part is not to earn the dollars, its to spend quality time with your freinds/family.
PS: Setup a scheduled date with your hubby on certain days.
life will alwayz be hectic and busy, my dear!
if you know that going out might not be something u can get around to doing.. how about creating a DATE-like atmosphere at home. Cook some nice food, wear something nice, set the table for a candle-lit dinner.. and rent a movie or even just invest in spending time laz-ing around on the couch with a hot cup of tea.. light candles around the house.. etc!
or maybe u guys can go for a couples' massage at a spa.. and spend a few hrs relaxing..
Marriages are something u NEED to make time for..
me and my husband have weekly date nights.. no matter what happens we go out.. even if its for a chai latte at starbucks.. making time for each other doesnt mean sitting face to face.. it cud be cooking a meal together; shopping, or even cleaning up together.. be creative.. its not that hard ;)
I guess we do do all that type of stuff. As in go out shopping, and run errands together. thats not the issue... I think after doing even all that together.. u still want to have a little bit of time to just sit and cuddle and go... "thank u.. i love u"
And, to be honest, we do do the end bit too pretty much everyday, but its not till bubz is asleep and we're so exhausted from the daily tasks and are in bed.. hehe :)
Ansoon, I totally agree with you. But, i must say, with a VERY active toddler, even when we want to sit down and just talk to one another or hold each others hand, we get a very cheeky "No!" from the itsy bitsy voice...
