Sharing what we learn and read is important. And even though Robert and I work from home, one room away from each other, we can spend an entire day on separate computers only meeting in passing with a kiss in the hall.
So sometimes we go on errands together. We grab the moments.
Sharing What We Read
One of our differentiating values as a couple is “Discovery”. (Seeing, experiencing, learning and doing new things.) That’s why books are a huge part of our marriage.
As we were out and about today, I shared with Robert the book I’m reading, Grace Filled Marriage by Dr. Tim Kimmel. Robert enjoys when I read aloud the parts I find interesting – often those bits will spark interesting conversations…
I’ll be reviewing the book in the next few days… lots to discuss!
Do you read aloud to each other? – Watch educational programs together? –
One guy I know watches cooking shows and then makes the recipes for his family…

Sometimes it’s a “Hey, Honey, come see this…” from another room. Sometimes it’s by email. Sometimes it’s a, “Can I read/tell you something…?”
Yesterday, I was walking around the yard trying to memorize a couple of verses from Ephesians 1. Physical movement helps me memorize. I happened to walk by the window to his home office, and shortly he came outside to see why I was walking around the yard taling to myself. This gave me the opportunity to let him know that I was memorizing Bible verses and that he could expect to see me roaming the yard, muttering, until about the first week of December! *lol*
I’m reading the book right now and it is amazing. Looking forward to your thoughts.
I often read books and my husband with his schedule often listens to books on audio. Sometimes we will read/listen to the same books and discuss them as we go through them. It is a lot of fun for us to think and discuss ideas. Helps us grow together in a way some couples don’t.
