My wife and I have been very happily married now for over 20 years and we’ve been very lucky that the pandemic hasn’t done any damage to our relationship in that regard.
We’re both goofballs and play off each other’s silliness.
However one thing we have started doing in the last couple of years is ‘bedtime stories’ - where I read to her either a chapter, or part of a chapter of a book, cover to cover.
We’ve gone though various books - a couple on short tales about successful women and girls, both Winnie the Pooh books, Grimms fairy tales and now we’re on Han’s Christian Andersons complete fairy tales.
So far we’ve not missed a single evening and it’s now part of our nighttime ritual that helps both of us be cognizant of bed time. It’s also been great to read some of these books that i’d have not otherwise read.
Seriously thinking of going darker next year when we get through Mr Andersen’s tales - may be time for some Edgar Allen Poe!
