Right now, my husband and I are working different shifts. As of lately the only time I see him is when we are sleeping, literaly, Hes asleep by the time I get home and leaves before I get up.
He works first shift, I work second.
I think the most we see eachother is when I have a day off or every other weekend since I work every other weekend.
So how often do you get to spend time with your husband (ONLY, no kids or other family or friends.)

well right now my husband is not working and i stay home to take care of the kids. but we still don't spend much time together. he is a night person and i am a morning person so i am in bed long before him and then i get up early and he sleeps half the day. after he gets up he goes down stairs and i stay up stairs so we don't spend much time together at all.

I can relate a little to that.
My husband likes to play video games (ps3) hes addicted (shouldnt have bought it for him for christmas!) but while hes playing his games I'm usually on the computer or doing some sort of craft upstairs.
If he ever came up and asked me to do something with him, I would put whatever it is down and go do it! He and I like to take walks, but usually we do that on warm days haha.

Well as of right now bryan and i see each other quite a bit... i do not have a job right now and he is working nights so he comes home and goes to bed and then he wakes up and i spend a few hours with him before he goes back to work...But he has 2 or 3 days off a week so that is cool. I do not have a job right now either i am going to start looking for a job once i get my car next month so yeah i have no clue when we will see each other then but hopefully still quite a bit!

ah i know what thats like.. I SO took that time together for granted!
USE THAT TIME WISELY!* My husband used to only work 1 day a week! 24 hr shift but it was awesome. I just wish we had done more than we did. but we did do alot together.. Just soak up all the time you can :) its well worth it and you'll remember it for the rest of your life, because in a few years or whenever you both start working full time and barely see eachother, you will wish you were back to where you are now. :)
I need to take a road trip out there!

I'm actually scared that my husband will become a work-a-holic! I don't want that.
I NEED my family time. I was raised around my family for my whole life. So thats what I'm used to and thats what I want lol. In that area I will put my foot down.
I will plan times or something to make sure I get my time in with my husband (whenever we HAVE time.) and since I'm pregnant now, only 4 months (or less, hopefully not though.) We wont be having to much time together at all. When the baby is sleeping, thats the time to get things done... - Atleast we can still take our walks.. thats something that keeps us growing together because we can talk and walking helps release any stress we might have.. I'm glad that God gave us nature!

My hubby is home from work everyday by 3 pm. so we spend alot of time together but with the kids home. But on the weekends we get to be alone almost all weekend. Thankfully 2 of my girls are older and they go sleep at friends house but my little one has a few good aunts and uncles that love to take her on weekends. She has a blast playing with her cousins. I love the weekend.

We spend a lot of time together. He is my best friend and when we aren't working we are usually together. Things are about to change though as one of our employees just went off on medical leave and we will both be working a lot so I think our time together will be sleeping and Sundays. Oh well life goes on...

i would really like to spend more time with my hubby alone. the days he has off usually his mom or sister will call and take up half the day...the kids interrupt us a lot too...we usually get about a half hour before bed everyday where we will talk or do something together. we're hoping to sneak away soon :)

My husband has been working in a different place since May 2007. And from then on, we dont spend much time together. When hes at home, he spent his time with the kids. Its quite frustrating and hurting. It's no longer the same as we used before. I just miss those times together. :(

I don't get to spend much just us time with my husband. We have a 11 year old and a 4 year old so we usually have the kids once in awhile on Sundays they will go to their grandmas house and then my husband and I get us time.

Though my husband doesnot work in shifts, I got to see him early in the morning before he is off to office or in the late evening when he is back from office. We hardly have time to spend with each other. In week ends we visit parents, so then too again we dont have much time to spend together.
The maximum time we get to spend with each other is mostly 2 hours in a day.

He works at home because we have a Dental Clinic for he is a dentist. I just resigned from work; so now, we are inseparable.

My husband and I run a business from our home, so we are together almost all day every day. We still get along great! However, I can imagine that this might not work for everyone.
We do occasionally take separate trips without each other - for instance I'll go to visit my mom for a weekend, or he'll go see friends in another state. However, when that does happen we wind up blowing all our cell phone minutes talking to each other and we're always in a hurry to get back home.

Many years ago when our kids were small...we both worked awkward shifts etc...and we just met in the passing...and it was hard believe you me
Sometimes i started work at 2 in the afternoon...my hubby used to meet me for a few minutes before i went to work...and those moments were really precious.
Then he used to come home at 11.30 at night ..and lolol..i used to put my make up on and `do` my hair etc....i wanted to look good gor him!!!
Boy that was devotion!!!
