I'll admit that this is the first time that I have heard about it and with the way it has been for the past few days I'm thinking I wish I had heard about it before. What has been on my mind. No time with my hubby, none and I have been starting to feel like we are growing apart.
So going through the videos, this one really hit home. Because for the past few days this has really been on my mind:
Dating your spouse (or partner) nay or yay? I know that I would love to have 10 minutes here, 30 minutes there to just catch up over a cup of coffee or a walk, just to reconnect.

I really do agree i think that type of idea is what has kept myrelationship so fresh
I agree with the video. It's very important to make time for your spouse, especially when you have kids and your life is consumed by them. My husband and I get a date about once a month and it's great.
I like the video. We have to make time for each other and try to relax/slow down. Life and problems will always be there.

I definitely agree that we need to take more time with the ones we love. It is too easy to get caught up in work, or even silly things like video games, tv and the internet.
I agree with the video 100%. You need to make the time even if it's only 5 or 10 minutes to collect with each other every day.

Togetherness is a necessity!
