We been recently reminded that we need to have more 'couch time'. This is a phrase from the Ezzo's who are famous in parenting circles having written contentious child rearing books in the Babywise series. 'Couch time' is spending 15mins with your spouse each day, on a couch or somewhere similar and just talking with your spouse in front of your child. This way the child sees that you love each other and the child feels secure knowing that you, his parents love each other. More on the Ezzo later ... we are attending a 18week Ezzo course called 'Growing kids God's way - along the virtuous way' and we are 3 weeks into it ('couch time' came in week 2).
- Pray that we will be good and godly parents to Luca & Aidan and that they will come to know our Lord and Saviour

Yup, a similar thing from Steve Biddulph 'Raising Boys' says that the first 10 -15 min when you get home should be spent uninterrupted with the wifey. It lets the kids know they are important but mum is too, and is much more healthy than trying to 'report back' on your respective days over 2 hours of rushed interrupted time.
go the couch. What I would like to see though is a pic of the two of you ON the couch!
