Quality Time…

Who do you spend the most time with?

I spend the most time with my husband. We don’t talk much, mostly just enjoy existing in the same space. But when we do talk, and I mean really talk, the energy is different and the things we speak about are meaningful to our lives. We are together, but both have very separate lives, and we acknowledge how the immediate priorities each of us have for every day is different, and our experiences day to day are very different.

We are able to see the individuality in each other’s experiences, and regularly acknowledge the differences in how our lives are and have been up to this point. We’ve grown together and separately all at once. And I am so grateful for his ability to try to consider perspective the way I try to consider his.

We have mutual long term goals, that took us some time to figure out after we solidified purchasing our first home and getting married, neither of us really seemed to want to know what we wanted to do beyond that and have children.

We still haven’t gotten to the children part – but it is a work in progress … o.O
