Q is for Quality Time in Marriage

55 Fiction

A luxurious house, high profile jobs, fat paychecks, expensive cars…

They were living the dream.

Though running the dream seemed more accurate.

To bond and unwind they decided to go for a dinner date at the club.

Amidst drinks and food, he bonded with ‘ friends’ on Twitter while she unwinded by playing Candy Crush.

  1. I know it is the wrong letter, but one thing I am sure that is important in a marriage is kindness. I’m sure you would agree. I’m writing about gardening and related topics this month. Having a wonderful time finding new blogs like yours.

  2. We know a couple is married if at the dinner table they are on their mobiles is something I heard someone say! Great post! A true reality in many marriages these days!

  3. Beautiful ! Just by not letting them spend quality time together, you’ve portrayed how important quality time is ! πŸ™‚
    A simple dinner, a little chat, a dose of humour, an hour for yourselves when you’re away from distractions, all this is important in marriage πŸ™‚ Lovely, gem!!

  4. ah! Candy crush!! I have begun to hate it even before I ever played it! Just because my friends are so occupied in it that they don’t seem to notice people around!

  5. Shilpa,

    Right you are. Where is bonding of hearts unless you spend Quality time together and not just be with each other?

    Take care

  6. That is the case with most of these days. Even a group of teenagers is usually busy in taking selfies rather than making merry. Technology is making us a slave and eating up our quality time.

  7. Good point Shilpa.
    For us we have all the time together, we literally do everything together. We understand each other, what more can one ask.
    Yes I have seen couples together yet they are so far from each other in their own world.
    And I have also seen couples who spend quality time with each other too.

  8. so true Shilpa….and these days this happens not only with couples but with friends & sometimes with family too; no one seems to get away from their gadgets & spend quality time with real people in the real world. πŸ™

  9. O this was marvelous! I missed it earlier but am glad came back to read this one. The sad reality of many lives captured very well in these 55 words. “running the dream” — nice choice of words here.

  10. That is kind of sad but familiar. When my husband comes home after being gone a month he is always on his phone on the internet and I am on the computer. πŸ˜›

  11. So true Shilpa, technology has invaded many aspects of our life… people need to realise, ‘me time’ and ‘we time’ are very essential in any marriage.

  12. oh yes! As much as we love spending time together, we need that time apart as well.. to relax, unwind . Personal space is so important in a marriage!
