My amazing husband, has worked hard and provided our family with a house that has 4 bathrooms. Our 2 daughters share one between their room, there's one attached to the guest bedroom that his mother stays in when she visits twice a year, one in our bedroom and a guest bathroom just off the main living room. 3 girls, 2 bathrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs, but for some reason, twice a day I have to put down every lid on every toilet. No joke, he doesn't even work from home... I'm convinced it's his way of marking his territory! I totally get having to deal with the lid up in the master, he certainly puts up with enough living in a house full of women, but the other 3?!?!?! Every day ?!?!?!

We are wonderfully in love, happy, and are together almost every moment of every day. While I cherish this blessing (I know many couples who rarely see their spouses) as I get the best of my husband, I also cherish a moment (or two) alone. Finding things outside of work for the two of us to do together has been great but I have struggled to find things for the two of us to do apart. We have so little time and while we spend almost all of it together, we are almost always working. Any free time we do have I want to share because although we are together at work, I didn't marry my work, I married an awesome guy. It is difficult at times to justify spending an hour to myself. I feel that I should give this hour to him and us (or even other friends and family). But over the years I have realized that this is more important than anyone ever told me. How can I be married if all I am is a job? Just like I didn't marry my business partner, my husband didn't marry his boss, he married the love of his life. I am married to my business partner.
