Pillow Talk

My favorite time of day is climbing into bed with my partner, hitting the pillow, lying face to face and cuddling and talking. The day is over and we can truly focus on each other. There are no kids, no interruptions, and nothing that needs to be done. Some of our best conversations take place during this time. We keep a soft light on and we just look at each other and talk about everything. Most of the time, this emotional connection leads to a total physical connection and it seems like making love becomes even more beautiful. This is now a topic of conversation with my girlfriends and how they interact with their husbands at night. Sometimes they tell me that they live vicariously through me and my dating. I feel like I've learned so much from my dating. Some of the mistakes I made with my late husband will rarely if ever happen again. Anyway, a couple of my friends have asked their husbands about "pillow talk". Maybe more couples will walk away from the TV or the computer or a book they are reading and interact with each other and maybe even reconnect. Time in bed with a spouse, partner, best friend...................is precious. It's special. We never have the TV on when we go to bed. I can count the number of times we've ever watched TV in bed on one hand and they've all been times when something was on we both wanted to watch while we snuggled. Sometimes we'll have music on but not very often. In the end it's all about the mood you set for yourself. This is what works for us. Maybe, just maybe, it'll work for you...
