I am definitely not an expert in love, but I do know a thing or two about communication and compromise. My husband and I met 6 years ago at a bar where I was working during college in my hometown. I thought he was cute, but wasn't interested because I was going to be leaving in two weeks to study abroad in Australia for 5 months. He managed to woo me in those two weeks and the day before I left we agreed we were "together". After many late nights in a phone booth thousands of miles apart and one very expensive phone bill for him I believe I learned more about him than I would have being in the same city. Needless to say everything worked out and we got married on April 25th, 2009.
This past year after much discussion we decided we needed to take more of an interest in each others hobbies because we found ourselves spending very little time together between work and everything else going on. I agreed I would go hunting with him and he agreed to make a quilt with me. I went out and took hunter's safety, bought my own bow, arrows, camo, blaze orange, tags and was ready for the big hunt.

I still believe it is good to have things you like to do together, but also things you like to do apart. He will never run a 1/2 marathon with me and I will never plan a vacation solely around duck hunting. What things do you like to do as a couple? What things would your rather do alone?

Jason and I are lucky enough to have fallen in lover over the things we love best... which happen to be pretty mundane things to begin with. Things we do together include watching movies, playing card games, going to a bar to order nachos, doing regular "getaways" like Brewers spring trainin and door county. Because so many day to day things are what we enjoy together we actually work at finding more things to do apart. He finds lots of sports leagues to be in and I find crafts and just joined a book club. Our struggle more than anything is getting away from each other ;) JK Jason.
Some of the best time we spend together is unplanned. My favorite is when we cook dinner, play yahtzee, and watch a movie...otherwise our weekends our usually filled with prior engagements (i.e. family stuff, work, etc.) I am pretty possessive of David's Time, since we work opposite shifts during the week. I am impressed that you two have made a quilt together~ not so sure I want David in my sewing room :) My craft time is my time and then he can play video games or watch "Ax Men, Orange County Choppers, Swamp loggers...." I asked him one time, what are your hobbies? He said, "Fishing, riding my motorcycle, cutting wood, and You!"
Thanks for sharing ladies! I love how everyones view point is just a little different.
