I was out with some girlfriends the other day and somehow we got on the topic of the conversations you have with your spouse right before you go to bed. They were commenting on how they have their deepest and most personal talks in those moments. I picked at my fingernails and looked out the window, as these are the kinds of conversations Mike and I have before we call it a day:
{Okay, first I must set the scene for you: our bed, totally disheveled, because Mike sleeps like a zombie on crack. I'm fixing my side of the bed (tucking sheet neatly under the mattress at the foot of the bed, straightening sheets and covers just so), while Mike sprawls out on his side. And no, the bed wasn't made in the morning. It's been busy around here. Stop nagging, sheesh.}
Me: In my heaven, there will be nothing but beds with tucked in corners.
Mike: There will be beds in my heaven, but that won't be the priority.
Me (Gasping): You can't think about sex in heaven!
Mike: You can in my heaven.
Me: You're going to hell.
Mike: Probably.
Aaaaggghh! I’m a preacher’s daughter and oh my, oh my, oh my. NEVER did it cross my mind there would be sex in heaven. Yep, he’s going to hell.
Gotta share with my gal pals. You may gain some Indy readers over this one!
What? That’s deep… religious, philosophical beleifs… heavy stuff. 🙂
tee hee
That’s hilarious! You should’ve shared THAT during the conversation! I think it would have led to a very interesting conversation!
Oh, and also? I totally do not make the bed in the morning… what’s the point, I’m just going to get into it again that night. But I also do straighten it out before crawling in every night!
We aren’t bed makers. And Jeff and I have separate blankets. No hogging or fighting that way.
Most of our bed conversation is mundane or silly. But there are times that the dark and quiet leads to unexpected openness on his part. It sucks for me because lights out and head on pillow leads to almost instant sleep. But it makes him feel safe when he has something deep to share. And I have to struggle to stay awake. *sigh*
