Sometimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of our daily routines that we can’t seem to find enough chances to spend meaningful time with our loved one. Sure, we spend plenty of time doing mundane daily tasks together. Maybe we remember to say “I love you” and give each other a quick peck on the cheek as we rush off our separate ways. But that isn’t the kind of quality time I mean. How about personal quite time when there are just the two of you alone together? I know I’ve talked some about that before, the importance of taking the time to really be together. But here, I’m going to elaborate a little. Exactly what is together time?

Together time doesn’t have to be a special occasion or even something you make a big deal out off. Sometimes it’s just sitting quietly together talking about your day. Maybe you do that over a meal at a nice restaurant, or maybe you lie awake talking after you’ve put the kids to bed. But it’s important to make sure that whatever else happens in your life and no matter how busy you get, you always do make time for that. Sometimes you can’t hardly find that time at home, no matter how hard you try. That’s where the importance of planning dates and special events comes in.

I’ve just come back from a vacation with my husband. We never go anywhere special. Can’t really afford to. But the point is just to get away from home for a bit and have some time that’s about us. On our trips we don’t talk (much) about the kids or anything that’s going on back home. This is a time that’s just for renewing our friendship, so to speak. For remembering how many things we have in common and just why we fell in love in the first place. I know it’s not possible to drop everything and trot off on a nice long vacation whenever you’d like. It’s not practical and—for most of us—just not affordable. But there are always those little occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. You’d be surprised how cheap and easy it can be just to hop out of town for a day and a night and come back again the next day. The point isn’t to go anyplace fancy, but just to GO.
