Re: time spent at home alone without spouse
Great topic Dushwari. I have seen so many girls complaining of how their husbands work late and don't have enough time to spend with them. It all depends on what you do to make that time you have with him worthwhile. Sometimes the hubbies might be too tired or lazy to do anything so it always helps to plan something creative and fun.
This is something I am scared of myself because I first planned on being a housewife after marriage and take alot of time away from all the work I have been doing all these years. My hubby will start his residency right when we get married Inshallah and he was pretty cool with the idea. But as time has passed, I have realized that I don't think I would be able to sit at home for more than a few months. And the thought scares me because I feel like we both would not have enough time to spend with each other. He will be working his crazy hours and since my mom is a doctor, I know how stressful a medicine career is, main reason why I quit med school in the first year because I wanted something more practical as a career to suit my family life.
Anyhow, fiance has decided on a specialty that won't require long and tiring hours for him as he realizes how important family life is. But still, considering how tough medicine would be, I am trying hard to think of what to do so that when he comes home, he doesn't stay stressed and is actually happy and refreshed. I guess that won't be possible every single day but atleast a few days a week, I really want us to do special things together and spend as much time as possible. One thing we have decided on is that some days, I can go to his work and we can have lunch together somewhere or maybe I can cook his favorite meal and we can both enjoy it together :)
