How Steve Jobs Saved My Marriage

This was my chat with H while I was at work tonight. I hate times like this in our marriage. You can feel it coming and before you know it, it hits you. It’s not like we are doing anything out of the norm to ignore each other. It’s just that we have forgotten to stop and stare into each others eyes as of late. So this is just a little public service announcement to get on iChat and ask your spouse on a date.

Life happens.
Then it’s over.
So go make out with your baby mama or baby daddy tonight.

    Los,
    This is so funny. My wife and I will seriously chat on google chat even if we’re in the same room sometimes :) Of course we did meet on eharmony.com, so all of our early dates were over IM.

    Now we go on real dates.

    I need to get Katie on iChat. We already text each other while sitting on the couch watching TV (1-foot apart).

    Andy and I IM while we’re sitting next to each other on the couch. He also texted me once from the upstairs bathroom when he needed toilet paper. Romance in the 30′s….

    Love the ichatting in the same room. Especially the flirting. Ichattin’ dirty. Start playing Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” on Itunes and you’re golden. Bowk Chicka Wow Wow!

    My wife and chat with each other and we both work from our homes and see each other 24/7, although not as much any more, we twitter each other more now than chat.

    OK…I thought when i said that hubby and I ichat/facebook or IM all the time, even from opposite ends of the couch, that you all would think I was weird. Now I find out that it seems as if the majority of Ragamuffin Soul readers do the same thing.

    What does this say about us?

    SOmetimes we will have 5 of us on the couch with private ichats going in any number of directions. Love it.

    We do it too. A few years ago we agreed to “fight” via email so we were more thoughtful in our arguments and not as prone to hurtful words. I love texting and IMing on Facebook even we are in the same room!

    you could come to MO and songbird, through my lens, and I would watch your kids…that’s a 1:1 ratio and we could have 6yearmed on speaker the whole time keeping tabs.

    This is hilarious. I can actually see you two chatting online too.

    I need some September Flava! “)

    Yes, Makeout night! All of us as ‘Muffin-ites should make out with our spouses tonite and make it an official Ragamuffin Makeout Night!

    Yep! Been there. Especially when the site goes down at Tim’s work. Just wanted you to know that I truly appreciate you and Heather’s ability to be authentic, even when it’s not your church motto. :) Miss you guys and if we ever make it to Georgia, I hope to visit.

  17. Simone 8 September 2008 at 4:03 pm #

    Again, you and Heather make us feel normal. Thanks!

    in our 14 years together, my wife and i have had this happen on many an occasion. it is nothing a little ballroom dancing/lesson cannot fix.

    Hey Carlos,
    Read Andy’s book “Choosing to Cheat”, a lot of good insight…not to mention He is your pastor! It helped me refocus a little on my priorities, however, I still screw up, good thing God gave me a beautiful, loving and forgiving wife. Funny how He knows better than we do.
