Sounds like the type of talking and driving we have done thru the many years of wonderful traveling.

Keep the conversations flowing, especially when the kiddos aren't listening.

This was so beautifully written. The way you described his stubble! And I love the God wink at the end!

As I was reading, I was reminded of a drive my husband and I took last year. We went away for the weekend, for the first time as new parents. We talked like we hadn’t talked in a long time. And we dreamed. Thanks for bringing me back! 💗

I'm glad this story brought you back. It's been almost a month since our time in the car, and I'm realizing how dearly we need to invest in that talk-time again. Blessings to you and your hubs!

i loved this one so much. I can relate to being in a marriage that is so worn and stretched with love and years together--and wondering what to do with the silence when it happens. This was encouraging and inspiring. Can't wait to connect with my husband again too.

Thank you so much Ashley. I always think of when Ryan had to deploy, I missed him so much. Like the dearest ache. And yet we can be together every day now and still MISS one another when we fail to put the work into talking + noticing one another. Whoosh, it's good work and it's a good love to fight for. Sending you so much love as you continue to grow in your marriage, too.
