How do you spend real time with your spouse? So that there will be real communication between?

Answer 1

My husband and I have two children. It's hard. What we do is several things....sit outside together, have dinner in a public place, walk around the block together, sit with each other on the couch, switch kids with a friend so we don't pay for a babysitter, and we just lay in bed together. We don't have to say anything alot has to do with body langauage and facial expressions. How does your husband treat you? Does he do little things like doing the dishes, make dinner, or open the door for you? The littlest things count not just communication.

Answer 2

1. Get a sitter. You kids should not consume all of your time, nor should they be the focal point in your home or every outside activity. The child-centered marriages are what is causing divorce - because spouses ignore each other so they can run their kids to 50 activitities so they look like Superheroes.

2. Once a month, sometimes twice, we go to the mall and sit at the outside-the-coffe shop tables where he proposed and we got engaged. We order our coffee, grab two chairs, and sit there for about three hours people-watching and commenting. It is alot of fun, and is usually followed with dinner out (NO KIDS).

3. Every night after dinner in the summer, we sit on the front porch and talk to each other. In the winter, we retreat to our room and lay on the bed talking, reading, watching tv together.

4. If possible, and with our jobs we can (I run a business from home, he is in an office), email each other during the day.

5. Get up in the morning with your spouse even if you do not have to go to work. Use that time to tak to them, rub their back when they come out of the shower, sometimes grab a quickie.

You either contribute to or contaminate a relationship every day.

Answer 3

Well, I am not married, but I am engaged, and I think that my fiance and I have great communication. To start off with, you have to have a lot of honesty and trust. Then you have to talk.

We go have coffee every Sunday evening, and basically discuss anything that's going on, anything that bothers us, etc.

Also, of course, we know when the other person is angry or bothered by something. And we don't let it go until it's been talked out. Even if the other person doesn't want to talk about it, we just pester each other until it's all out in the open.

Answer 4

My husband and I read to each other, a chapter a night out of a book we choose together at the library. After that, we usually lie there for a while before we go to sleep talking about what we've done and seen, solve the world's problems (yeah right!) and just generally bond a little more.

Answer 5

Spend time with them doing what they like to do without any other distractions of people and nose... Go for a quiet walk and talk or talk when you are in bed together. How about just talking alone in the car?

Answer 6

Go out together instead of your friends when its time to go to bed talk a little before falling asleep and over dinner is a nice way to communicate.

Answer 7

Well Mike and I sit out on the back patio alone with out kids. We choose a topic to discuss and go from there. We take turns on who gets to pick the topic. For example if you won the mega millions what would you do with it all. The conversation will bloom from there onto other topics. Make it fun

Answer 8

Ever hear the country song "How do I kiss the lips at night that chew my a** out all day long?" When I see her walking my way, I walk the opposite way.

Answer 9

turn off the TV...schedule "date nights" that involve activities that do not drown our conversation...take walks together...try some new things together to generate conversation about new topics

Answer 10

Yeah, turn off the tv. Go places that spark conversation........museums, parks, etc.

Then go out for a quiet dinner, QUIET!!!
