May. 8, 2008 - Marriage Tip of the Day - Get up with your husband!

Well, I was thinking about sharing a marriage tip with Home School Bloggers. 

I often think about how I / we can make our marriage better - I don't take our marriage for granted.  I have shared a bit of our story here:

Make Your Marriage Work

It can be tough at times when we aren't connecting with each other.  Life is busy and seems to pull us apart. 

As most couples, we are opposites concerning our bedtimes and wake up times.  (He is the early bird in our house, while I am the night hawk)

For so many years, he would get up and I would sleep in.  I always felt a little bad, but hey, I stayed up later than him - I was still tired.  He could manage by himself.  He didn't even really talk to me when I got up with him, and so on, my excuses went.

About a year or so ago, I decided I would try and get up with him - I also need some quiet time to read my bible before the girls get up.  It's been a wonderful thing for us.

I make his lunch fresh every morning and even though we don't talk a lot - his love language is time together - we do some and I know he appreciates me being up with him.  I get to kiss him goodbye and to remind him in person of any upcoming event or appt. 

This one tip has made our marriage better.  Do you have a tip to share?

I don't have a tip to share... at least not at the moment. But, I wanted to thank you for your tip. My dh and I are both night owls, but thankfully his job is such that he doesn't have to get up at the crack of dawn. However, he still gets up before I do... regardless of who went to sleep first.
