Remember the good ole days when we had bench seating in the front of the car? Dating was so much fun. You could get in the car, slide over and grab his hand, kiss his cheek. Sit real close and share a french fry . Or even steal a kiss at the red light! Oh my how times have changed! Where did those seats go. I think they saved most marriages back in the day. We still had closeness. One thing I do know is when I am with my husband I always let him drive. I always have.
One day he asked me, why I moved? I said "hunh"? He said I am still setting here. You never slide over any more. WOW, what an eye opener.
I realized with having three children and crazy schedules. We don't connect as much as we used to. I have even found that the only time I now sit by my husband is at church in the pew! I thought about this the other day. Why we have a love seat.. We should put it to good use! Normally he is in his big man chair and I am on the computer or on the couch. We are worlds apart in the same room. This must end! Bring back the bench seats, bring back the church pew! Wrap your arm around me sweetheart!
I want to take my seat back. I want to re-establish what we lost. I want that closeness. I am taking my rightful seat! That's where God wants me. If I am not there, my seat is empty. That is no good.
Take time to get close again. Go for a Sunday drive around the block. Go back in time,enjoy that moment and reconnect, remember to love the man God gave you! No matter how bumpy the ride.
You are so right on this. My husband and I made a commitment not to allow a single sitting chair in our home. We sit beside each other on the couch and beside each other at the kitchen table. This is how we have remained connected. Sometimes the computer will interfere with our connection but that is when the "lonely" party reminds the other that they are needed. I love the fact that we can remind each other that we are needed even in our hectic lives.
