Life is busy and marriage can be hard. I remember thinking that once I was married, I'd get to see Brandon so much more. False. Although we might be in the same house, a little more than when we were dating and living apart (even that might not be true), we don't spend as much time together. It's so easy to let life get in the way. I am trying to get so much done at the house. Plus, I have a weekly Bible study, and weekly or bi weekly trips to make pottery. I try to spend time with friends when the opportunity presents itself, since I tend to get depressed if I'm not "socialized" enough.
Brandon, on the other hand, is a PE teacher. Contrary to what you probably think, this creates a very busy husband. He's got coaching or games (sometimes 3 in one day). He also teaches Math and Bible, so he has grading and lesson plans to work on. Then, he tries to stay active himself, and has volleyball or softball leagues throughout the year.
Needless to say, we don't see each other much. So, Brandon and I started a new tradition. We are now waking up just a little early (just 15 minutes). This gives us time to eat breakfast together and have a short devotional. It's important to spend time with God, together, plus, it's nice to have some time together before our crazy days begin.
