Some nights after I get L to bed I just feel so sapped that it's easy to let time with my husband slide. But, if I consciously say to myself, I'm going to give him 15 minutes of my time - just sitting with him, talking with him about his day, etc - before I know it we've spent two hours together, just enjoying time with each other. My husband really needs that, and I do too, even though frequently I don't recognize the need until after it's been met.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614232173945249682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-91423636820663250462008-10-14T23:33:00.000+11:002008-10-14T23:33:00.000+11:00Thanks Trish.
