My pastor once said: "Whatever you put time into, will grow, whatever you stop spending time in will die." Those words resonated with me...at the time, I was apathetic about my faith, because I wasn't spending any time in God's word or with God, some of my friendships were fizzling because I wasn't putting any time into them, my work was suffering because I was busying myself with non work things. I reassessed and prioritized.
I think so many relationships die because people stop putting time into them.
My husband and I go to bed together almost every single night. It's a little gesture that I know not all couples have the luxury of doing depending on schedules, but the fact that we crawl into bed together is something that I believe makes our relationship stronger. We take time to ask about each others day; we check-in on "us," and we spend some good cuddle time together. We don't always fall asleep together, one of us may stay up reading or watching Hulu on our laptops, but I really treasure that time as our days are so busy. I know adding a baby to the mix might change things, but my relationships with God and my husband are my priorities...I will find the time to put into them, so they'll grow.
We go to bed together too! Well, sometimes I can't hang and I have to go to go get in bed sooner because he likes to stay up late sometimes but most of the time we get that cuddle time before bed.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post about this about a year ago. We, too, always go to bed together. It's very important to us, and I think it helps keep our marriage so healthy.
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG- I love my marriage.
