Readers’ Tips for Keeping the Love Alive, Installment VIII (originally published in True Romance, November 2006)
My husband is retired and he’s ten years my senior. He’s very much into watching TV, whereas I can take it or leave it. I used to resent his interest in TV, especially documentaries, but I found that by watching some of them with him, I learned new things. I also learned how much I love spending time with him, especially when he suggests that I choose a good movie that we can both watch. Yes, he’s retired and home all the time, but now I feel that by taking an interest in some of his interests, quality television has actually brought about quality time with each other.
