Sundays for Togetherness

Sundays have made our marriage thrive through the busy years. See Ryan was in school for about the first 10 years of our marriage. We met and married during our undergraduate studies and then survived his master's and his PhD (still happily married). The whole time I chose to be a stay-at-home Mom raising the kids. So, I got plenty of time with the kids. Ryan didn't have a lot of time for the family. Since his schooling also paid his way, it owned him. He worked and worked and worked six days a week with little time to eat or sleep or spend with family. He really took to heart: "six days shalt Thou labor and do all thy work..." Sundays were different. On Sundays he didn't touch his studies. He chose to be home with us.

 Sundays are a great time to talk with family who live far away. We never really get to live by our family, but we always like to take advantage of Sundays to talk with them.

And lastly and so important, Sundays have always been a time for Ryan and I to catch up with each other.
