Happy Marriage

[Tulipsroses]

My mother always said for the happy marriage you should not interact with your husband for more than 5 minutes a day. I gradually beginning to understand why. There is nothing to talk about apart from the kids so 5 minutes a day seems like a good number.
Do many people agree?

I don't agree. Dh spend the majority of our time together as we both mostly work from home and always have something to say to each other.
You can talk about the news, shared interests, work, things you'd like to do or plan to do etc.

Sorry you're feeling this way OP. I think your DH is disappointing you in some way? Do you feel like you'd like to talk more but he's not making the effort or there's some resentment about something?

If I were you I'd tell him you feel this way, do you want to fight to make it work?

How is ignoring your husband a happy marriage?! What a strange perception.
DH and I have both had time off this week and DS is at school, it's been really nice, even just doing little household jobs etc. When you say there's nothing to say do neither of you take an interest in current affairs, have any hobbies, friendships outside of the relationship? What would you take to other people about? DH and I talk about everything and nothing , from politics, to the neighbour's strange behaviour and anything in between.

Honestly, what would be the point of a narriuafe like that?
I'd be considering divorce if we only spoke for 5 minutes a day.
And why would you only talk about the children? We talk about anything and everything.

We both love each other. His love is in little things like makings a cup of tea with a chocolate bar or doing a foot massage after work or having our house full of flowers. I don't know what our bills are because he takes care of it. It's just we are both very introverted and there is not much communication. And weird thing is I like it the way it is.
