I wish I could join the countdown with you guys.... But just returned ( was there during Christmas /New Years)... But I am happy that a lot of u will get some time with your hubby! ... 8)

-When was the last time everyone seen their hubby? What was the average/longest time , since you seen hubby?

-We have been together 5 years (married 1 1/2) When we were just dating I would go twice a year, but since we got engaged & married it went up to 3-4 times a year anywhere from 2-5 weeks at a time.

- * Hot Topic* :P... Answer only if u feel to be open...
Did u and hubby have a monogamous relationship over the years, do you feel that he is ' holding the faith' as I call it?

We had an open relationship in the beginning...But we had an understanding that if u had a 'need ' it was o.k, however it wasn't to go beyond that, like having someone ' on the side'... It's not something we spoke about, but had an understanding... When we got engaged we commited to only be with each other... Hence the augment of visits... Lol... Anyway can't imagine being with anyone else ... I think this process helped our relationship grow, because we ' kept it real' and did not have to lie to each other

I go to visit hubby 5 times a year (at minimum) and my stays range from 4 days to 3 weeks. I try to do at least 2 of my visits as 3 weeks and the rest vary depending on what I have going on. The last time I was there was mid December for my birthday (Big 3-0), and now I am going back in a couple of weeks for our 1 year wedding anniversary! Woohoo!!! Only 7 weeks between these trips.


We were monogamous from the beginning and I actually do believe that my hubby holds his faith. There is literally never a time that I don’t know where he is or what he is doing and vice versa... and when I say never, I do mean NEVER. For those of you that really know me, you know how this is possible. That being said, it was upon mutual agreement that anything one asks of the other is (without be said) asked of both. I too have such frequent visits because of our monogamous relationship.

I know of many MANY people with open relationships (some discuss with their partners, some do not. Some are married, some are still dating) and to each their own. I am curious and interested in that side of the coin as I have always only been monogamous, but every relationship is different!

Heyy CanJam!

The last time I saw hubby was in November (went for 3weeks) - I usually go for 2-5weeks depending on how busy work is.
The longest time I didn't see hubby was right before our wedding - 8months..due to the timing of my work schedule..saving for the wedding etc. Otherwise I try to go down every 3ish months, if possible. (Jan - April is busy season so during this time..it really varies!)

Hot topic
- Hubby and I discussed early on in the relationship and have a mutual understanding that the relationship will be monogamous. We both are deeply rooted in the church and work closely with youth so it's both a religious thing as it is personal preference. We also agreed to abstain from sex until the wedding day. LORD GOODNESS THIS WAS HARD! 4+years of going back and forth...times where the sexual tension was MOUNTING....we kept our word ( except for when we went to Milk river bath when we were engaged - hahaha when it happened hubby was like "Weh mi ago tell GOD? Mi teef a piece!?" *I DIED!!!!*).

But yes - back to the question - monogamous on both sides works for us and I truly believe we both have been keeping up this bargain from the beginning :)
 
Lol at ' mi tief piece'... :P... We are getting more involved in church which has brought so much to our relationship, I think that it impacts our marriage in such a + way...

LOL! Funny funny man!!

Agreed - I find that the most attractive thing was when my husband asked for us to pray together - not one night goes by where we don't pray together (either via phone or in person) before going to bed. Got me all teary-eyed! LOL! It's such a positive thing to build a marriage/relationship around love. Love of each other...love of God..

Others may find it irrelevant, but it definitely works for us :)

Awww so sweet!! Hubby and I pray together each night too, and have since we got seriously dating.

Hot Topic

I've tried to get down there every 4 months or so, but I took 1 mth for our wedding/honeymoon together, so I had to pay back work BOOOO...so when I do get down there (March 13) it will have been 7 months!! I'm NEVER doing that again...It's way to long.

As for 'keeping the faith', we are Monogomous and have a committment that going outside our marriage is not OK for either of us, we trust each other isn't breaking that committment to each other. :)
