Level 65 wrecked my life!

"Couple Time" in our house is when we jump in our comfy queen size get snug in the blankets, turn our backs to each other & Go on our phones!

Ezrah browses the 'Online garage sale' page & watches episodes of The Voice UK. I am on the other side of the bed awaiting my free lives on Candy Crush to load up so I can clock level 65. While I wait I'm either on Instagram "double tapping" makeup looks or on FB doing the usual...scrolling through nothingness. This happens for a good hour or two, or until one of us *Usually Ez* gets tired & starts snoring.

Before Candy Crush & Garage Sale pages Ez & I had real "Couple Time", by "Couple Time" I mean "Quality Time". We were genuinely interested in each others days, we told aweful knock knock jokes (his were aweful, mine were pretty funny), we remenisced, we laughed but before we closed our night, we prayed, together.

We haven't prayed together in a long time, because we both get caught up in these little machines plugged up to a charger nightly, shining from either side of the room. We pay $99 a month for these 2 devices that keep us away from each other at the most vital times of our nights, "Quality Time"

If I wanted to be kept away from him I'd give him a 'Dutch Oven' *
Google it*, at least it'll save me $99 a month plus it'll give me more laughs than all this rubbish on FB!

Pretty much what I am saying is, I have allowed something so small to make such a big impact on an important factor of my life, my quality time with my husband. We are apart 5 days a week for more than 10 hours a day & the days we are together we're running around like headless chooks trying to fufill our household duties!

I layed here tonight, watching my husband sleep for the first time in a long time & I can safely say that I am one of the luckiest women alive. We all think that of our husbands, but I truely believe that I have a winner. He is very patient, I mean VERY, VERY patient. He is loving & caring. He is understanding. For the most part he is a stand out bloke ;) He's not perfect but thats why I love him.

So in turn I will do my part as a wife & give him what he deserves most, my time & attention. The bedroom should be a place of peacefulness & a domain of unity. Not a technology filled room with cords & wires everywhere, we dont live at NASA headquaters, therefore we dont need so much 'Electrial Stuff' in our little squishy room. I will 'Reserve' my nights for my husband & I to have our "Quality Time" & to go back to what made us the couple we are, Prayer.

I challenge you to screenlock your phones, pause your games & quit the scrolling for just a second, to say a quick thank you!

Show gratitude for your days that have past & your days that are to come.

Show gratitude for your family & friends, spouses & partners, collegues & team mates.

Lastly show gratitude for the sacrifices made by others to give us all that we have today.

I am thankful you have read my message & I hope somewhere out there someone can send me lives on Candy Crush...for tommorrow, when I have "ME" time. :)

Be Thankful, Make time & Don't forget to Pray.
