My husband and I are both busy people by chose. We love living life to the fullest. My husband works full-time and is working on his fifth degree.He also has a job application in at the state department and will be taking the promotion test for Captain as soon as it is offered. I am currently a volunteer attorney for children, a board and committee member, blogger, ballroom dance instructor trainee, and overall project junkie. Between our busy schedules and (as introverts) our need for alone time; we both work really hard to make sure we spend quality time together. Since my husband’s recent transfer to a desk job, on days, we generally manage dinner together. Usually, something I have thrown into the crock pot that morning. One of my favorite things about these dinners is the conversations.
Last night entailed a lengthy discussion about black holes and their event horizons. Einstein’s belief in wormholes and the issues with that theory. For instance the spaghetti effect issue. Although, you’re as likely to hear us debating the last supreme court or local court ruling or a myriad of other topics spanning pop culture to obscure scientific or legal theories. My husband’s ability to generate and discuss such diverse and interesting topics is what initially drew me to him and helps continue to kindle the flame.
As we approach our six wedding anniversary I find myself contemplating the in and outs of marriage. What factors played a part in us reaching this milestone. What factors will help us reach the next one. I think our conscious efforts to make it work and spend time together is a big one. That along with our communication skills and willingness to forgive has brought us a long way and will continue to do so.
Remind me not to eat dinner with the two of you! Staying at home has cost me several IQ points! I can probably still talk about education and educational philosophies…I think. Lol
