Marriage Monday: Hubby Time

I am trying to get myself back into the swing of things with my blogging. Instead of doing today's Marriage Monday over a study I will just discuss my recent experience that has inspired me to write this post today. I have been absent from the blogging world lately and I have been spending time with my husband with the computer closed.

Usually, on a typical day or evening, this is what you would see: he on his recliner and me on the couch, laptops open, tv on and not engaged in each other. I started to feel consumed in technology. In the past couple weeks I broke away to recharge my brain for creativity and inspiration. I soon realized that sitting on the couch with nothing taking my attention actually made me pay attention to my husband. I would make comments on what we were watching, he'd share a story and I listened without having Pinterest open to distract me. Tell me I'm not the only one who would passively listen while scrolling away at the latest pins!

Starting today I am working on a plan to block my time into segments of what is important to me and then allow myself to be free for the evening. Working out, blogging, and cleaning/picking up/organizing the house are my main general focus areas and they will make up what I will call my "work hours" during the day. I feel like if I don't overwhelm myself with any one thing, even if I love it, that I won't get burnt out.

Once I've completed my tasks for the day, my attention will be for my husband and my pug! It is so important to not neglect our relationship with our man because monotony can be a dangerous habit. I don't want us to just be together, but to be engaged in each other!
