Chocolate & I are very busy! We may get to see each other for an hour a day if we’re lucky and we do not even have children yet to steal that time away!(Well we do have a house full of little ones on the weekends)
We’re so busy with our careers, goals and just life in general that before our trip to South Beach this past June we had not been on vacation together in 4 years!!! 😯
That was far too long and we promised each other to not let that happen again. We need time to unwind together and to just have some fun!!
What we have learned is; we have to set aside or “steal time” away from everything and reserve it for just the two of us, that way no matter how hectic our day gets we always have those moments to look forward to.
Here are some things that Chocolate & I do;
-When one or both of us wake up, we cuddle for like 2 whole minutes! Some mornings it’s a little longer but 2 mins is about the norm. It’s not a long time but 2 mins laying & listening to his heart beat reminds me to be grateful 1. for waking up and 2. for him!
– He typically leaves before me so that he can work out before heading into work, he will call me every morning between 8:15-8:30 to see how my day has started and my proximity to work.
– we check-in via text mid-day and again as we both head home.
– Thursday nights are usually date night, we typically head out for all you can eat wings!
– We try to go to bed at the same time. If one is tired and the other is not, one of us will nap on the couch next to the other until they too are ready for bed.

These are simple things that we do to get some one on one time.

Like with all things concerning your marriage; you and your love have to find things that work for the two of you. The takeaway is that you find ways to steal moments together!❣
