Playing Games

When my husband and I were dating he moved 300 miles away.

I remained in NYC for 18 months until I was ready to leave my job and join him.

One of the problems we encountered was feeling like we were spending time together.

When we would chat online or talk on the phone the often ran out of things to say before we were ready to say goodbye.

We frequently played board games, cards and video games when we were together and that led to a great solution to our problem.

One of the things we did was play online games together. At the time we both enjoyed playing a game called Civilization. We were able to team up or play against each other online.

It really helped us feel like we were doing something together.

It also gave us a little more to talk about. We are married now and continue to play games together when ever we can.
