Haha can we trade husbands? My man just wants to lay around and touch each other on the weekends and I’m like, um can you please get up and fix every single thing in the house? 😂
Like honestly, your husband sounds AMAZING. My language is def service haha. My partners is def touch. But wondering if relationships work best when the languages are actually different because then you handle the touchy and date night planning and he fixes the clogged sink and does the taxes? (“The touchy” is our term for giving that love language as an act of service.)
Sounds like a total dream to me.
If you were both just smooching or both just changing lightbulbs, balance would be lacking.
Charlotte, you are absolutely onto something! The comedian Nate Bargatzi (probably butchered that spelling) makes a joke about how every couple has a dreamer and a realist and that you can't have two dreamers or you'd be broke in a day. I feel like that speaks to this idea of differences as a means to thrive. One person has to change the light bulbs, one person has to keep the romance alive lol
Congrats on your anniversary! And yes, communication definitely requires a dance of affirmation and clarification. I think there's something to be said for having even tough discussions with kindness. Have a wonderful celebration with your wife!

Yes! And they say one person needs to like staying home with the kids and the other needs to like doing errands!
For sure. R. going to the grocery store has added years to my life 😂
