Are you one of those couples that lead different lives and only sleep in the same bed (occasionally).
There are couples who have no choice but to be apart - one may be a soldier, or a driver, or work on a pipeline.
But what about those couples that live together all the time?
One of the fundamental foundations of a good relationship is getting to know your spouse. The only way to do that is by spending time together. Watch a movie together, read to each other, or just sit across the table from each other and talk.
You might find out something interesting about your spouse that you never knew before.
Don't think you have anything in common with your partner? Try a compromise - one night a week you do what one of you wants and one night do what the other wants. You might discover a new love of a hobby, a musical or film genre, or art.
For example, before my husband and I were married, you would not have caught me on a small manned watercraft. Especially one without sides and with the potential of going 30 mph + on a lake. Then he introduced me to our Hobie 16' Catamarand:

| Isn't it beautiful?? |
And as for my husband, I brought to him a love of different exotic and healthy foods. His whole life had been fried, creamed, cheesed, and fat. I taught him to love quinoa and to TOLERATE (lol) asparagus.
Make some time today to spend with your spouse - just the two of you, together. You may find it makes all the difference in your relationship!

Jdaddy and I love to spend time together. Of course, we like to spend time apart too, but I love that we are lucky enough to get date nights quite frequently.
